Maskblob

Description

This effect displays circles at the coordinates contained in the input array. These circles, or blobs, act as masks and can either reveal an underlying image at their position, or act as black masks on top of a displayed image.

Properties

Array properties

Any properties in the input array that matches the name of these properties will be used and displayed accordingly.
These properties can also be shown as inputs on the node by toggling the icon.
In the dropdown menu you can choose how values from the array interact with values from the Editor panel or the input between : Replace, Add or Multiply.
More information can be found on the GPU Multi category page.

  Default : WIDTH ÷ 2

• Y : Sets the Y value for the coordinates of the effect.
  Default : HEIGHT ÷ 2

• Radius : Sets the radius of the maskblobs
  Default : WIDTH ÷ 10

• Softness : Sets a softness on the maskblobs. Operates between 0 (no softness, sharp edges) and 1 (much softness) by default. This value has no upper limit, however, a value too high will eventually make your maskblobs disappear.
