Parameters in the Inspector
Color Space: Sets the color space. Generally, if you are working in NTSC, use YIQ. If you
are working in PAL, use YUV.
Offset: Sets the coordinates of the ray pattern’s center. Coordinates are calculated from
the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.
Color: Picks the base color for the one color ray.
Color Variance: Sets how much the colors differ from each other.
Divisions: Sets the number of divisions in the ray pattern.
Rotation: Sets the rotation of the whole pattern from the center point.
Op Art
There are three Op Art generators to help confuse your background-foreground senses.
The Op Art generators create mathematically oriented patterns using a repetition of
simple shapes. Although some static patterns create a visual illusion of movement, you
can keyframe the Op Art parameters to create actual moving moiré patterns.
Op Art 1
Parameters in the Inspector
Line Thickness: Sets the thickness of the lines in the pattern.
Contrast: Sets how sharp or blurred the division is between the lines and the
background.
