TexturePlasmaIn the S_Textures Plugin.Creates an abstract texture resembling an electrical plasma effect. The Phase Speed parameter causes the pattern to automatically undulate over time. Inputs:

Parameters:
-
Load Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.
-
Save Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.
-
Noise Frequency:
Default:
1.2,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The spatial frequency of the initial noise texture. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.
-
Noise Freq Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The relative horizontal frequency of the initial noise texture. Increase to stretch it vertically or decrease to stretch it horizontally.
-
Noise Octaves:
Integer, Default:
4,
Range:
1 to 10.
The number of summed layers of noise. Each octave is twice the frequency and half the amplitude of the previous. A single octave gives a smooth texture. Adding octaves makes the result approach a fractal (1/f) noise texture.
-
Noise Seed:
Default:
0.12,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Add Grad:
X & Y, Default:
[0.1 0],
Range:
any.
Determines the amplitude and direction of a gradient which orients the plasma lines. Increasing X makes the lines more vertical, and increasing Y makes them horizontal.
-
Layers:
Default:
4.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
The number of layers of plasma lines. Increase for a more striped effect.
-
Threshold:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
Determines the thickness of the plasma lines. Increase for thinner lines, decrease for thicker and brighter ones.
-
Shift:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Translation offset of the texture. Since the texture is procedurally generated it can be shifted with no repeating units or seams occurring.
-
Phase Start:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Phase offset of the plasma lines.
-
Phase Speed:
Default:
1,
Range:
any.
Phase speed of the plasma lines. If non-zero, the lines are automatically animated to undulate at this rate.
-
Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the result.
-
Color:
Default rgb:
[1 1 1].
Scales the color of the result. For example, if it is yellow [1 1 0], the blue of the result will be 0.
-
Glow Color:
Default rgb:
[0.6 0.8 1].
Scales the color of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
-
Glow Brightness:
Default:
3,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
-
Glow Width:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The width of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
Params2:
-
Glow Width Red:
Default:
0.6,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative red width of the glow.
-
Glow Width Grn:
Default:
1.2,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative green width of the glow.
-
Glow Width Blue:
Default:
1.8,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative blue width of the glow.
Params3:
-
Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.
-
Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.
-
Mocha Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1,
Shared
.
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.
-
Invert Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off,
Shared
.
If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.
-
Show Mocha Only:
Check-box, Default:
off,
Shared
.
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.
-
Bypass Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off,
Shared
.
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
