System: shape_field

Structural

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does	Group
points	5	3 – 16	How many points or sides the silhouette has, where the shape has a count at all.	shape, main
star_seed	0	0 – 255	Picks a different arrangement of the same amount of jitter and wobble - a whole number, and every value is as rough as every other.	shape
palette_steps	0	0 – 16	Quantizes the palette into this many flat bands; 0 leaves it continuous.	colour
palette_contour_style	0	0 – 3	Which line the contour draws: 0 a soft darkening, 1 a hard one, 2 a soft ink, 3 a hard ink.	colour
coord_mode	0	0 – 1	Which coordinate frame the distance is measured in, which changes the shape’s whole geometry.	shape

Modal

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does	Group
shape	0	0 – 4	Where on the silhouette roster each mark sits - a disc, a square, a star, and so on; a whole number is that figure exactly and a value between two travels from one to the other.	shape, main
star_valley	0.45	0 – 1	How deep the notches between a star’s points cut; near 1 the star becomes a disc.	shape
star_curve	0	-1 – 1	Bows a star’s edges inward or outward instead of leaving them straight.	shape
star_jitter	0	0 – 1	Randomises each point’s length by a seeded amount, so the star reads as hand-drawn.	shape
star_wobble	0	0 – 1	Waves each edge in and out along its length, leaving the points where they are - the wander a hand-drawn outline has.	motion
star_wobble_freq	1	0.5 – 2.5	How many waves the edge wander fits between a point and the notch beside it. Does nothing while star_wobble is 0.	motion
scale	0.6	0.05 – 2	Size of the shape within the frame.	shape, main
pan_x	0		Slides the whole scene sideways, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.	shape
pan_y	0		Slides the whole scene vertically, in the scene’s own units rather than pixels.	shape
color_span	0.6	0 – 1	How much of the palette the field’s range covers.	colour
color_center	0	-1 – 1	Shifts which part of that range lands in the middle of the palette.	colour
saturation	1	0 – 1	Pulls the scene’s colour toward grey; 0 is fully desaturated, 1 is the palette’s own.	colour
palette_mix	0	0 – 1	Crossfades from the preset’s palette to its second one; 0 is the first, 1 the second.	colour
palette_contour	0	0 – 1	Draws a line at each band edge when the palette is stepped; 0 draws none.	colour
palette_contour_ink	0	0 – 1	Where along the palette an ink contour takes its colour; unread by the two black styles.	colour
gamma	1	0.25 – 4	Shapes the falloff from the shape’s edge; below 1 it bites sooner.	light
rotation	0	0 – 6.2831855	Turns the shape, in radians.	motion, main
stroke	0	0 – 1	Draws the outline instead of the filled figure, at this half-width; 0 fills.	shape
morph	0	0 – 1	Travels the authored path towards its morph_to silhouette; inert without one.	motion
