S_TextureFoldedCreates an abstract texture resembling folded cloth or liquid that can be animated to give a dynamic turbulent effect. The Fold Speed parameters cause the pattern to automatically undulate over time.In the Sapphire Render effects submenu.

Parameters:
-
Load Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.
-
Save Preset:
Push-button
.
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.
-
Mocha Project:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.
-
Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.
-
Mocha Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1.
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.
-
Invert Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.
-
Resize Mocha:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
Scales the Mocha Mask. 1.0 is the original size.
-
Resize Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative horizontal size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Resize Rel Y:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative vertical size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Shift Mocha:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Offsets the position of the Mocha Mask.
-
Bypass Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
-
Show Mocha Only:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.
-
Combine Masks:
Popup menu, Default: Union
.
Determines how to combine the Mocha Mask and Input Mask when both are supplied to the effect.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
- Mocha Only: Ignore the Input Mask and only use the Mocha Mask.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
-
Frequency:
Default:
4,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The spatial frequency of the texture. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.
-
Frequency Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The relative horizontal frequency of the texture. Increase to stretch it vertically or decrease to stretch it horizontally.
-
Octaves:
Integer, Default:
1,
Range:
1 to 10.
The number of summed layers of noise. Each octave is twice the frequency and half the amplitude of the previous. A single octave gives a smooth texture. Adding octaves makes the result approach a fractal (1/f) noise texture.
-
Seed:
Default:
0.432,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Fold Amp:
Default:
72,
Range:
any.
The angle of the folding distortions.
-
Fold Freq:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The frequency of the noise used for the folding distortions.
-
Fold Octaves:
Integer, Default:
1,
Range:
1 to 10.
The number of octaves of noise to use for the folding distortions.
-
Shift:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Translation offset of the texture. Since the texture is procedurally generated it can be shifted with no repeating units or seams occurring. This parameter can be adjusted using the Shift Widget.
-
Fold Start:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
The offset of the folding effect.
-
Fold Speed:
X & Y, Default:
[1 0],
Range:
any.
The speed of the animated folding effect. If non-zero, the folding effect automatically undulates at this rate.
-
Brightness1:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of Color1. Increase for more contrast.
-
Color1:
Default rgb:
[1 1 1].
The color of the 'brighter' parts of the texture. The colors of the result are determined by an interpolation between Color0 and Color1.
-
Color0:
Default rgb:
[0 0 0].
The color of the 'darker' parts of the texture.
-
Offset0:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Adds this value to color0. Decrease to a negative value for more contrast.
-
Bg Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The background brightness is scaled by this value before being combined with the texture.
-
Combine:
Popup menu, Default: Screen
.
Determines how the texture is combined with the Background.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no Background.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the Background.
- Add: the texture is added to the Background.
- Screen: the texture is blended with the Background using a screen operation.
- Difference: the result is the difference between the texture and Background.
- Overlay: the texture is combined with the Background using an overlay function.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the Background.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no Background.
-
Mask Use:
Popup menu, Default: Luma
.
Determines how the Mask input channels are used to make a monochrome mask.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
-
Blur Mask:
Default:
0.05,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas. It has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Show Shift:
Check-box, Default:
on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface for adjusting the Shift parameter.
