Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 1047)

Parameters in the Inspector
Front: Sets the position of the center point of the front of the height map, determining
the direction to which the height vertices are projected. Values are coordinates.
Front Size: Sets the size of the front object, as a proportion of its original size.
Back: Sets the position of the center point of the back of the height map, determining
the direction from which the height vertices are projected. Values are coordinates.
Back Size: Sets the size of the back object, as a proportion of its original size.
Fuzziness: Sets the amount of fuzziness applied to the height vertices. The higher the
Fuzziness value, the softer the edges of the height vertices.
Height Map: An image well that displays a thumbnail of the height map chosen. If present,
the height map is used to calculate the height vertices.
Map Channel: Sets the channel used to calculate the height vertices. If a height map is
present, the channel is selected from the height map, otherwise the channel is selected
from the source object. Values can be selected from the following: Luminance (default),
Red, Green, Blue, or Alpha.
Mix: Sets what percentage of the original image is blended with the filtered image.
HUD Controls
The HUD contains the following controls: Front Size, Back Size, Fuzziness, Height Map,
and Map Channel.
Slit Scan
Create an animated fly-through effect by simulating the slit scan process used to create
“stargate” images in science fiction films.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.

Parameters in the Inspector
Center: Sets the position of the center of the slit.
Rotation: Sets the angle of rotation of the slit.
