Image Macros
The following macros add Shake-generated image nodes to the Image tab.
Flock Macro
The following bird clip can be found in doc/html/cook/macros/Flock/bird. This takes a
cycling clip and propagates copies of it offset in time, position, and scaling. There is a
clip of birds provided as an example that you can use, royalty free.
You can use the box to roughly position the birds. The birds are also positioned with
two extra movements, a gentle cosine function and some random noise. The freqX and
freqY parameters control the frequency of the cosine movement (an up and down
wave). The vibrationX and vibrationY parameters, along with the vibFreqX and vibFreqY
parameters, control the random movement.
Manga Macro
This is an example of using NGLRender.
The second image has a Twirl applied with a very low antiAliasing value. Many kudos to
Tom Tsuchiya of VPJ in Tokyo for information on Concentration Lines (“Syuuchyuu-sen”).
