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.

Parameters in the Inspector

Speed: A slider that sets the speed of movement of the sheet.

Start 1–4: Sliders that set the starting point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls
to find wave shapes.

End 1–4: Sliders that set the ending point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls
to find wave shapes.

Offset: A slider that sets the coordinates of the center of the sheet. Coordinates are calculated
from the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.
