Abstract/Backdrops

Use these presets as backdrops or to create abstract art particle effects in your scene.

Proxy	Name/Description/Comments
	Animated_Coloured_Background Use Number and Lifetime to slow down or speed up the animation. Try with Z Rotation and Spin settings.
	Art_Coloured_Lines Speed sets the amount of stripes. Try with Colour variance in motif_generator menu.
	Autumn_Leaves Use Number, Size, and Speed settings. Try with the Rotation and Spin settings.
	Burning_Text Particle Generator and cascade effect to burn the text and make it disappear.
	Circles Use Number, Lifetime, and Size settings. Try with the Spin setting.
	Colour_Blob Animated coloured gradients. Use Number, Lifetime, and Size settings. Try with Blending modes and Lighting.
	Colour_Cloud Animated. Use Number and Size settings. Try with Z Rotation and Lighting.
	Colour_Vortex Animated. Play with circ_gradient_ax (especially Y Scaling). Try with Z Spin setting. For a nice spiral effect, try Timesteps = 2 and Trail values up to 50.
	Coloured_Arcs Arcs rotating towards the camera. Try text_ax (posX=140, RotZ=200, ScaleX=30).
	Concentric_Circles Animated. Use circles_emitter Number and Lifetime fields to set the amount of circles.
	Concentric_Circles_2 Use Number and Size. Speed up or slow down animation with Lifetime.
	Crazy_Serpentine Random circular patterns. Try with the size manipulator (Magnitude). Modify the Power animation in vortex manipulator.
	Crazy_Stars Pulsing coloured stars. Use Number and Size settings.
	Digital_Animation Animated rectangles. Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and Speed settings. Change colour using light_colour.
	Dots_Spiral Animate Size setting. Try with Magnitude in size manipulator. Change colour using the Geometry settings of dots_generator.
	Dots_Vortex Use the Size setting. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator and with Power in the vortex manipulator (try Power = 5). Move the camera and see the effect of gravity.
	Fairy_Text 3D text made of coloured stars. Try star_text_ax (Scale=22) and generator (Number=95, Number_V=25, Lifetime=75, Size=12, Size_V=20, Speed_V=0,1).
	Flashing_Squares Influence the colour using the light’s colour settings.
	Glow_Scanline Vertical and horizontal moving glows. Use Number, Lifetime, and Size to characterize horizontal & vertical glows. Use Magnitude in the V_size and H_size manipulators to set the scaling’s amplitude. Use Magnitude in the V_horizontal_osc manipulator to set the horizontal motion’s amplitude. Change colour with the light.
	Glowing_Streaks Coloured streaks coming from behind the camera to the centre of the frame. Try Number=110, Number_V=35, Lifetime=1, and Speed_V=70. Orbit the camera.
	Glowline Moving horizontal glows. Use Number, Lifetime, and Size settings to characterize the glow. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator to scale the glows.
	Hypno Influence the colour using the light’s colour settings.
	Hypnotic Try with Rotation and Spin settings. Orbit the camera.
	Kaleidoscope Change the colour using the light’s colour settings.
	Light_Canvas Grid of animated glows. Influence the colour using the light’s colour settings. Characterize the vertical and horizontal glows using the circgrad_V_ax and circgrad_H_ax axes.
	Light_Dots Speed up or slow down the effect using the Power setting in the size Animator.
	Moving_Glows Circular illuminated glow. Change colour by colour correcting the white media. Use Number and Size to characterize the ring. Use the pos_scale axis to set the position and rotation of the ring in the scene.
	Path_Light Animated glow on a path.
	Pop_Art Try with a close-up shot of a face as REPLACE_ME media. Zoom in to have fewer coloured squares in the frame, or zoom out to have more.
	Psychedelic_Texture Animated. Use Magnitude in the size manipulator to set pattern size. Try with the Trailsize field in the Generator menu.
	Random_Texture Animated. Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and Speed settings to characterize the texture. Try with the Spin settings to set the animation.
	Raying_Sphere Black sphere emitting coloured streaks. Use Number and Speed settings. Try with the Tailsize field.
	Sky Moving cloudy sky. Use Number and Colour_V settings to characterize the sky. Use Position settings in the sky_motion manipulator to set how the clouds are moving.
	Space_Blob Coloured glows with a burning effect. Try the PD_ax settings, and influence colour using the Light's colour settings.
	Spectrum_Lights Animated vertical glows. Use Number, Lifetime, and Size to characterize the lights. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator to control the scaling amplitude of the lights.
	Stagelights Use Number, Lifetime, and Size. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator to control the scaling amplitude of the stagelights.
	Star_Spiral Use Number, Lifetime, and Size. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator to control the scaling amplitude of the stars.
	Text_Atom Animated 3D Text birth.
	Text_Distort Use Number, Lifetime, and Size. Try with Rotation_V, Spin, and Spin_V settings. Try also to change the light's colour and the glow_generator's Material settings.
	Text_Dots Use Number, Lifetime, and Size. Try with Rotation_V, Spin, and Spin_V settings. Try also to change the light's colour and the glow_generator's Material settings.
	Text_Glow Use the Size setting. Try with Magnitude in the size manipulator.
	Text_Particules Animated cascade effect with the 3D Text Geom node.
