Controls Tab
The Controls tab is used to change the style, position, size , strength, and lighting (embossing)
of the displacement.
Type
The Type menu is used to choose in what mode the Displace node operates. The Radial mode
uses the map image that refracts each pixel out from the center, while X/Y mode provides
control over the amount of displacement along each axis individually.
NOTE: There is one set of Refraction controls while in Radial mode, and two sets in XY
mode—one for each of the X and Y channels.
Center (Radial Only)
The Center control defines the point from which pixels are displaced toward or away.
Refraction Channel
This drop-down menu controls which channel from the foreground image is used to displace
the image. Select from Red, Green, Blue, Alpha, or Luminance channels. In XY mode, this
control appears twice, once for the X displacement and once for the Y displacement.
Refraction Strength (Radial)
Controls the strength of the refraction. Higher values cause stronger or more pronounced
refraction.
X and Y Refraction (X/Y)
Two separate sliders appear to control the Refraction strength along the X- and Y-axis
separately. Otherwise, this is exactly like Refraction Strength.
Light Power
This controls the intensity, or strength, of the simulated light, causing bright and dim areas to
form according to the contour of the refraction image. Higher values cause the bright and dim
areas to be more pronounced.
