Updated: 19 Feb 2025

Warps an image with a ripple emanating from the centre of the screen.

Method #

This node warps an image with a ripple emanating from the centre of the screen.

Attributes

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

Parameter	Details
Active	Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Blend Amount	Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)	Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)	Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Sine Major Scale Axis	Change the peak value for the major axis of the sine wave.
Sine Minor Scale Axis	Change the peak value for the minor axis of the sine wave.
Displacement Amount	How much the warp effect displaces the image.
Noise Amount	How much is applied to the warp.
Falloff Range	The range at which the effect works.
Max Displacement	Maximum amount the image can be displaced.
Animation Rate	Change the rate at which the sine wave is animated.
Update Time Mode	How the effect updates with relation to the time code. Locked To Timecode : The effect is locked to the time code and the same time on the time code will always yield the same image output. Running / Looping : The effect is disconnected from the time code and will loop seamlessly at the end of the layer. this also means that animated speed values will change smoothly.

Affect Channels

Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.

Name	Description	Typical Input
Falloff Node	Add a gradient that controls how far the effect affects the image.	Gradient 2D
Active	Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.	Value
