Op Art 3
This generator creates mathematically oriented patterns using a repetition of simple shapes.
Although some static patterns create a visual illusion of movement, you can keyframe Op Art
parameters to create moving moiré patterns.

Parameters in the Inspector
•
Line Thickness: A slider that sets the thickness of the lines in the pattern.
•
Color 1: Color controls that set the first color of the generator. Click the disclosure triangle to
display Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity sliders for more precise color selection.
•
Color 2: Color controls that set the second color of the generator. Click the disclosure triangle
to display Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity sliders for more precise color selection. For more
information on using the color controls, see
Basic color controls on page 132.
•
Contrast: A slider that sets how sharp or blurred the division is between the lines and
the background.
•
Wavelength: A slider that sets the frequency of the wave.
•
Amplitude: A slider that sets the height of the wave.
•
Skew: A slider that sets rotation of the wave pattern.
•
Roundness: A slider that sets the shape of the wave.
Soft Gradient
The Soft Gradient generator creates a soft-edged, radial gradient. The gradient contains an alpha
channel, so you can place the generator over another image in the project. You can change and
keyframe the color, size, and position of the Soft Gradient.
