Aescripts Pixel Melt V1.0.0 (Win): Introducing the Pixel Melt effect, a dynamic tool that treats each image pixel independently, simulating a captivating melting process based on pixel brightness. This effect adds a unique touch to your images by assigning velocities and spreading amounts to each pixel, resulting in an organic and mesmerizing transformation.
Key Parameters Guide:
- Direction: Defines the direction towards which the melting and other effects occur.
- Velocity Intensity Source: Allows using a different input layer to determine pixel velocities, acting as a "velocity mask."
- Spread Intensity Source: Enables using a separate input layer to control pixel stretching, akin to a "stretch mask."
- Pixel Melt Intensity: Controls the intensity of the melting effect, animating the process over time.
- Pixel Melt Step: Determines the stage of the melting simulation, serving as a multiplier for velocity and spread parameters.
- Velocity: Sets the maximum shift of pixels based on brightness intensity, calculated via a velocity curve.
- Spread: Specifies the maximum stretching of pixels in a given direction per melt step.
- Spread Alignment: Dictates how stretched pixels align after applying velocity shift.
- Shading: Offers various options for stretched pixels, such as Sine Wave or Triangle Wave.
- Shading Phase: Sets the shading phase in stretched pixels for additional visual effects.
- Shift: Adds contrast to the output from the velocity curve mapping, which is helpful in emphasizing melting movement.
- Scanline Modulation: Modulates the start of scanlines perpendicular to the melting direction.
- Velocity Curve: Defines how pixel brightness maps to velocity in the set direction.
- Spread Curve: Specifies how pixel brightness maps to stretching in the set direction.
- Screen: Offers options for wrap, output continuity, fullscreen stretch, off-screen reach, and fade effects.
With the Pixel Melt effect, unleash your creativity and add mesmerizing melting animations to your images, creating stunning visual experiences that captivate audiences.
