Perlin noise and plasma

warning

Both of those effects are only available to TVPaint Professional users.

Perlin noise​

This effect generates shapes thanks to mathematical functions and is sometimes used to imitates water waves and other water effects.

You can :

  • Adjust Width and Height of the generated shapes,
  • Mix these shapes to the current image thanks to the Colorize, Tint, Multiply (etc.) modes,
  • Use a picked color, a gradient or the color from the current image,
  • Change the complexity of the shapes thanks to the Octave setting,
  • Invert the effect colors or change its Opacity.

Plasma​

The Plasma effect is similar to the Wave effect because they both create circles. However, this effect produces multicolored waves and can be adjusted through several parameters:

  • The Linear , Linear 2 or the Smooth option in the Generator menu in the settings panel modifies the profile of the generated wave's shape (look at the examples below).
  • It is possible to work with one, two, three or four circles (see below).
  • You can choose the way these waves will mix together. Below you can find the modes :

Add Sub Multiply Divide

Maximum Minimum Average Différence

Distance

  • Finally, some settings related to color channels are also available : Global phase, Red phase, Green phase, Blue phase and Alpha phase.
