Generators

Generators are usually always TOP based.

Default is 256 x 256 TOPs

Should probably all be greyscale? (32-bit) with color done with modifiers?

List of proposed default GENerators:

• Ramp
• Noise
• Bars / rectangles
• Audio?
• Particles

Ramp

• Options: Linear, Radial, Circular Fader Button? (A|B?)

  • or maybe A|B assigns to sides of xfader for quick swapping?

• Should color go here or in a "remap" Module later? I think trying color in modifiers (controlled onscreen) is a good idea

• 32-bit float for remapping purposes. Always black to white?

• Mirror or Repeat? Fader Button? maybe not as it is a bit obscure. dev button?

  • Attributes:
    • Size (aka Period) - static variable (not animating)
      • Linear - Scale (Transform w/ tile)
      • Radial - Period
      • Circular - Period
    • Phase / "animation"? - probably animating aka control speed - maybe just a toggle and master speed control? (S key?)
      • Linear - Translate (Transform w/ tile) or Rotate? (Transform w/ tile)
      • Radial - Phase
      • Circular - Phase
    • Position - static (not animating) -
      • Linear - Rotate? (Transform w/ tile) or Pivot? (Transform w/ tile)
      • Radial - Center
      • Circular - Center

Noise

• Move in X, Y and Z

• Period (scale)

• Amplitude / Offset (intensity range start / end. allow blowing out for "camo" effect?)

• Harmonics

• Controls

  • A|B|off - Perlin 3D (GPU), Simplex 3D (GPU), Random (GPU)
    • or maybe A|B should assign to sides of the xfader (or always on if A|B is off)
      • XFader is opacity or
  • S - Toggle Speed
    • Dev_Tog1 - X animate
    • Dev_Tog2 - Y animate
    • Dev_Tog3 - Z animate
    • Dev_Tog4 - 4D animate?
