Color looks. Your other settings stay as they are.

Near strands

Colour of the strands nearest you.

Far strands

Colour of the farthest strands.

In-focus core

Colour of the sharp in-focus cores, the travelling light pulses and the cut tips.

Free shaders, block studios and Export Kits are available without an account. Pro items are coming soon; their demos, studios and downloads will open in a later release. Purchasing is not open yet.

Strand count28

Number of fibres in the bundle.

Braid0.2

How far each strand's radius breathes with angle, which is what lets strands cross.

Fan twist1.1

How much the strands' directions diverge across the bundle.

Source taper0.55

How softly a strand leaves the bundle at its source end. The tip is always a cut.

Tip glow0.85

Brightness of the light leaving each strand's cut end. It is what the fibre still carries at the tip, so it dims with attenuation; out of focus it images as a disc.

Attenuation0.7

Light lost per strand length, I = I0 exp(-alpha s). Higher values dim the strands toward their tips and leave less to exit the cut end.

Signal pulses0.6

Brightness of the pulses running from the source to each tip, attenuated on the way like the rest of the light.

Core width1.6px

Width of a strand in focus, measured in device pixels so it stays equally fine at any DPR.

Aperture0.4

How fast the circle of confusion opens away from the focal plane.

Focal plane0.45

Which depth is in focus, from the back of the bundle to the front.

Depth fade0.35

How much dimmer the farther strands are.

Glow2

Brightness of the strands and their tips.

Bundle origin

0.18

1.02

Point the strands fan out from; it may sit outside the frame.

Bundle spread1.3

How far apart the strands fan out from one another.

Arc sweep0.5

How much of the circle each strand runs through. The sign picks the end the light enters from, so a negative sweep fans the bundle out the other way.

Arc rotation-0.35

Turns the whole fan of strands around its origin.

Braid speed0.5

Speed of the braiding motion and the travelling light pulses.

Rack range0.5

How far the pointer walks the focal plane across the bundle's depth.

Pointer focus pull0.8

How far moving the pointer sideways pulls the focus.
