Membrane

The Membrane generator creates a sheer, animated sheet that appears to move gracefully in 3D space. The speed, start and end points, offset, brightness, and color can be modified and animated. To expand the animation beyond the Canvas borders, increase the Width and Height parameters in the Inspector.

Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:

  • Speed: A slider that sets the speed of movement of the sheet.

  • Start 1–4: Sliders that set the starting point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls to find wave shapes.

  • End 1–4: Sliders that set the ending point for the sheet wave. Experiment with these controls to find wave shapes.

  • Offset: A slider that sets the coordinates of the center of the sheet. Coordinates are calculated from the center of your object, which is the coordinate origin.

  • Brightness: A slider that sets the brightness of the sheet.

  • Color: Color controls that pick the color of the membrane. Click the disclosure triangle to display Red, Green, and Blue sliders for more precise color selection.
