Membrane
The Membrane generator creates a sheer, animated sheet that appears to move gracefully
about in 3D space. The speed, start and end points, offset, brightness, and color can be
modified and animated. To expand the animation beyond the Canvas borders, increase
the Width and Height parameters in the Inspector.

Parameters in the Inspector
Speed: Sets the speed of movement of the sheet.
Start 1–4: Sets the starting point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls to
find different wave shapes.
End 1–4: Sets the ending point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls to
find different wave shapes.
Offset: Sets the coordinates of the center of the sheet. Coordinates are calculated from
the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.
