Galaxy
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.
Options/Settings | 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. |
