Element controls.

Light Factory 3.0 offers controls that let you create, edit, and animate your own custom light effects. Each element comes with its own set of Element Parameters. The parameter list is contextual; it will change based on the element that you have chosen.

Example of parameter list.

This is the Parameter list for the 'Aperture Reflection' element. As you drag the light source to the edge of the frame, you’ll see streaks coming off the side that look a little like a fireworks fountain. That's Apature Reflection.

Do Core checkbox. Turns on the inner color, producing a multi-colored effect.

Brightness & Scale. These options combine to set the overall ‘strength’ of the effect. Lower settings will have the effect fading off quickly, higher settings will have sharp white streaks of light.

Spread. This sets how much the effect fans out. This is basically an angle setting causing the streaks to fan out wider from a single point… or not. Remember, this can go higher than 50.

Noise. Determines how ‘streaky’ the effect is. Do you have a soft glow coming off the edge or sharp streaks? The higher the Noise settings the sharper the streaks and the more of them there are.

Size & Width. These options work in conjunction to set the size of the area that the streaks fan out from.
