Working with Generators
Color 1: Picks the first color in the checkerboard. Use the disclosure triangle to display
Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.
Color 2: Picks the second color in the checkerboard. Use the disclosure triangle to
display Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.
Size: Sets the size of the squares in the checkerboard. Values range from 0 to 800.
Contrast: Sets the sharpness of the division between squares. Values range from 0 to 1.
Clouds
The Clouds generator creates an animated cloud pattern. You can modify or animate
the color, scale, speed, and strength of the cloud layers.
Parameters in the Inspector
Horizontal Scale: Gives the appearance of zooming in or out of the simulation by
horizontally scaling the generator. Larger numbers indicate a higher level of zoom. The
default slider values range from 8 to 64.
Vertical Scale: Gives the appearance of zooming in or out of the simulation by
vertically scaling the generator. Larger numbers indicate a higher level of zoom. The
default slider values range from 8 to 64.
Speed: Sets the speed of movement of the clouds. Values range from 0 to 2.
Gradient: Sets the color gradient used for the clouds. For information on using
gradients, see “
Method: Sets the algorithm used to generate the clouds. Values can be set to Normal
(default) or Turbulent.
Offset: Sets the coordinates of the center of the clouds. Coordinates are calculated
from the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.
