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.

• X : Sets the X value for the coordinates of the effect.
  Default : Width / 2

• Y : Sets the Y value for the coordinates of the effect.
  Default : Height / 2

• Lifetime : Animates the pulse in the effect. If there is no Lifetime property in the input array the shapes will be static. This property can be activated in the Editor to add a default value that can interact with the ones in the array.
  Default : Inactive

• Radius : Sets the radius for the pulses
  Default : Width / 10

• Softedge : Sets the softness for the edges. A value of 0 means no softness and sharp edges while values of 1 and above will produce much softness on the edges. Values too high will make the pulses disappear completely.
  Default : 0.0

• Intensity : Sets the width and overall intensity of the X pulses
  Default : 5.0

• Pulse Speed : When the pulses are animated (Lifetime property present in input array), this property will control the speed of the pulses.
  Default : 0.0
