Color Tab
The Color tab allows you to adjust the gradient colors used in the generated noise pattern.
Two Color
A simple two-color gradient is used to color the noise map. The noise function will smoothly
transition from the first color into the second.
Gradient
The Advanced Gradient control in Fusion is used to provide more control over the color
gradient used with the noise map.
Common Controls
Image and Settings Tabs
The Image and Settings tabs in the Inspector are duplicated in many Generator nodes.
These common controls are described in detail at the end of this chapter in “The Common
Controls” section.
Mandelbrot [MAN]
The Mandelbrot node
Mandelbrot Node Introduction
This node creates an image pattern based on the Mandelbrot fractal theory set.
Inputs
The one input on the Mandelbrot node is for an effect mask to limit the area where the fractal
noise is applied.
–
Effect Mask: The optional blue effect mask input accepts a mask shape created
by polylines, basic primitive shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools.
Connecting a mask to this input limits the fractals to only those pixels within the mask.
Basic Node Setup
The Mandelbrot node generates images that can be used for motion graphics and sci-fi effects.
Below, it is used to generate motion graphics for the background of a title.
