System: shape_collage

Structural

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does
layout	0	0 – 8	Picks which arrangement the elements are placed by.
roster	0	0 – 8	Picks which set of shapes the elements are drawn from.

Modal

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does
count	0	0 – 64	How many elements are placed; 0 lets the layout decide. Truncated, so a rise admits its next element on arrival.
seed	0		Chooses one arrangement out of the family; the same seed always composes the same way. Truncated, like count.
size_hierarchy	0.5	0 – 1	How much larger the leading elements are than the rest; 0 makes them equal.
angle_bias	-22		Degrees the elements lean by, which is what gives the composition its tilt.
density	1	0 – 2	How much of the frame the arrangement fills.
drift	0	0 – 2	How far the elements wander from their placed positions.
spin	0	-2 – 2	Turns per second the elements rotate by.
recompose	0	0 – 1	Crossing zero lays the composition out again from a new arrangement.
recompose_blend	0	0 – 1	How long the change between two arrangements takes, rather than cutting.
pump_size	0	0 – 2	Scales every element together, for a beat to make the whole composition breathe.
pump_alpha	0	0 – 2	Fades every element together, the opacity twin of pump_size.
scale	1	0.1 – 4	Size of the whole composition within the frame.
pan_x	0		Slides the whole scene sideways, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.
pan_y	0		Slides the whole scene vertically, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.
paper	1	0 – 1	How opaque the ground behind the elements is; 0 leaves the backdrop showing.
color_span	1	0 – 1	How much of the palette the elements are coloured across.
palette_shift	0	0 – 1	Rotates every element’s colour along the palette together.
saturation	1	0 – 1	Pulls the scene’s colour toward grey; 0 is fully desaturated, 1 is the palette’s own.
palette_mix	0	0 – 1	Crossfades from the preset’s palette to its second one; 0 is the first, 1 the second.
opacity	1	0 – 1	How opaque each element is, so overlaps can show through.
edge_softness	0	0 – 1	How far each element’s edge fades; 0 is a hard cut.
