The Galaxy effect creates a spiral like effect that expands around the model either clockwise or counterclockwise. Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix.
One or multiple colors can be used for the effect. If multiple colors are selected, than the spiral will be made up of the selected colors.

Description
Start: Center X,Y
Defines the x and y coordinates of the center (i.e. focus) point of the galaxy effect.
Start: Radius
Defines the lower radius of the galaxy.
Start: Width
Controls the width of the lower end of the spirals.
Start: Angle
Controls the angle of the spirals.
End: Radius
Defines the upper radius of the galaxy.
End: Width
Controls the upper width of the spirals.
End: Rev’s
Determines the number of full revolutions each arm makes in the given timeframe.
Options: Head Duration
Controls the swell i.e. the amount of time that the head of the spiral uses.
Options: Acceleration
Sets the speed of a non-linear movement for the head color and body.
Options: Reverse
Reverses the direction of the rotation of the galaxy effect.
Options: Blend Edges
Each edge blends to black. Turning it off converts the galaxy effect to a full circle at the end of the rotation.
Options: Inward
If the spirals overlap, it determines if the spirals will appear to be moving inward or outward. If there is no overlap, this setting will have no effect.
