Silhouette-2022 : Nodes : Elements
Elements
Caustic
Simulates an optical distortion created by the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface.
Chroma Bands
Creates rainbow diffraction patterns.
Chroma Ring
Rainbow lines that emanate from the center of the light source.
Circle
An individual circle.
Circles
Creates a specified number of random circles often seen in lens flares.
Disc
Generates a circular ramp with individual control of the inner, middle and outer areas.
Ellipse
Ellipse is similar to Disc, but elliptical in shape.
Edge Streak
Caused by a light source at the edge of the frame reflecting off of the shiny lens aperture. It only appears when the light source is positioned outside of the frame.
Fan Rays
Generates asymmetric fanned rays.
Hot Spot
Utilized in most lens flares, glow ball simulates the circular glow created when a light source interacts with a lens.
Polygon
An individual polygon.
Polygons
Creates a specified number of random polygons. These are reflections caused by light interacting with the lens’s polygonal bladed aperture.
Radial Streaks
Short radial streaks emanating from the center point.
Random Spikes
Generates asymmetric radial rays.
Ring
A rainbow ring that fades as it is moved to the edges of the screen.
Spikes
Long radial rays emanating from the center point.
Spiral Rays
Creates spiral rays.
Star
A star pattern is created when light reflects off the intersection of the lens’s aperture blades.
Star Caustic
A star shaped caustic created by the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a lens’s reflective coatings.
Stripe
A tapered stripe that simulates anamorphic lens flares.
