[. . . ] Flare Amount sets the width of the inside edges of the burn holes. Flare Burn Char Burn Amount sets the amount of burn applied to the source image. A setting of 1 burns out the source completely, revealing any tracks below it in the timeline. To create a burnt Þlm transition, animate Burn Amount from 0 to 1. Char Amount sets the width of the "charred" edges. · Image Processor Shaders · 91 · · · Scale X and Scale Y set the scale of the burn pattern along the horizontal and vertical axis. Scale X=400, Scale Y=50 Scale X=50, Scale Y=400 Offset X and Offset Y controls set the pattern of the burn holes at a given point. Navigate through the underlying burn patterns to Þnd one that you like. Level determines how much of the total image burns away. · 92 · Chapter 4 · · · Wipe-Curtain A Wipe-Curtain effect wipes away one image to reveal another in the form of a horizontal or vertical ine. You can adjust the speed of the wipe, and create an edge that is clean or ragged, opaque or translucent. Offset=1, Speed=1. 25 Offset=0. 30, Speed=1. 25 Offset=-1, Speed=1. 25 The Type menu determines the orientation of the wipe: · · Curtain Horizontal produces a horizontal edge that moves up or down. Curtain Vertical produces a vertical edge that moves left or right across the image. Edge Bias determines which side of the image is the wipe edge. A positive value puts the wipe on the left edge of a vertical wipe or on the bottom edge of a horizontal wipe. A negative value puts the wipe on the right edge of a vertical wipe or on the top edge of a horizontal wipe. Noise Scale X and Noise Scale Y determine the horizontal and vertical scale of the noise pattern. Noise Scale X=1 Noise Scale Y=1 Noise Scale X=1, Y=1 Noise Offset X and Noise Offset Y determine the pattern of the noise at a given point. Navigate through the noise patterns to Þnd a setting that you like. Noise Intensity adjusts the intensity of the noise pattern in the curtain wipe. A low value produces a smooth edge, and a high value produces a more noisy, jagged edge. · Image Processor Shaders · 93 · · · Offset controls the progression of the wipe at a given point. Use this parameter to animate the effect from the unprocessed to the processed images without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the effect of the image processor by mixing it with the source image. · 94 · Chapter 4 · · · Wipe-Erosion A Wipe-Erosion effect wipes away one image to reveal another in the form of an eroding pattern. You can adjust the type and scale of the erosion pattern, and adjust the offset. Use the Level parameter to animate the effect. Level=0 Level=0. 50 Level=1 The Type menu determines the type of erosion pattern used in the wipe: · · The Erosion pattern uses randomly-shaped openings that gradually wipe away the image. Marbelous Erosion adds a marbled texture to the pattern. Type=Erosion Type=Erosion Marblous Scale X and Scale Y set the scale of the erosion pattern along the horizontal and vertical axis. Scale=0. 25 Scale=1. 50 · Image Processor Shaders · 95 · · · Offset X and Offset Y determine the pattern of the erosion at a given point. Navigate through the erosion patterns to Þnd a setting that you like. Mutation 1, Mutation 2, Mutation 3, and Mutation 4 control the shapes used in the erosion pattern. Experiment with each of the settings until you Þnd a pattern you like. Level controls the intensity of the erosion pattern, with higher values producing higher levels of erosion. · · 97 · · · Chapter 5 Material Shaders Car Paint 2-Tone .
