Gradient
The Gradient generator initially creates a non-animated blue-and-red linear gradient.
You can change the gradient from linear to radial, add and remove colors in the
gradient, and change the gradient start and end points. You can save a modified
gradient to the Gradient category in the Library and later apply it to shapes, text
objects, or particle cells. The gradient controls can be keyframed to create a moving,
color-changing gradient.
Membrane
The Membrane generator creates a sheer, animated sheet that appears to move
gracefully about in 3D space. The speed, start and end points, offset, brightness, and
color can be modified and animated. To expand the animation beyond the Canvas
borders, increase the Width and Height parameters in the Inspector.
