Method: Sets the algorithm used to generate the clouds. Values can be set to Normal
(default) or Turbulent.
Offset: Sets the coordinates of the center of the clouds. Coordinates are calculated
from the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.
First Layer Strength: Sets the strength of the first layer of clouds. Values range from 0
to 1.
Second Layer Strength: Sets the strength of the second layer of clouds. Values range
from 0 to 1.
Third Layer Strength: Sets the strength of the third layer of clouds. Values range from
0 to 1.
Fourth Layer Strength: Sets the strength of the fourth layer of clouds. Values range
from 0 to 1.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains all the same controls as the Inspector, as well as the Opacity
and Blend Mode parameters (in the Properties tab).
Color Solid
The Color Solid generator creates a single-colored object. You can adjust the color of
the solid, as well as keyframe the color to create an animated texture of changing
colors.
Note: When you want to create and animate a small, color-filled box or shape, use the
Shape tools to draw a vector-based shape rather than creating and masking a color
solid. This is more efficient in terms of processor time and workflow.
