System: star_pattern

Structural

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does	Group
palette_steps	0	0 – 16	Quantizes the palette into this many flat bands; 0 leaves it continuous.	colour
mirror_order	1	1 – 12	Repeats the geometry this many times around the centre; 1 draws it once.	shape

Modal

Parameter	Default	Range	What it does	Group
variant	1	0 – 8	Moves the construction’s contact angle, continuously: this is an angle offset rather than an index into a list.	shape, main
rotation	0	0 – 6.2831855	Turns the whole pattern, in radians.	motion, main
hue	0.5	0 – 1	Where this scene reads from the palette, as a coordinate along it rather than a colour.	colour, main
hue_spread	0	0 – 1	How far along the palette the colour travels from one end of the figure to the other.	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
draw_progress	1	0 – 1	How much of the figure is drawn, from its start; below 1 the line is still arriving.	motion
thickness	2	0.5 – 12	Stroke width in pixels at the render target, before softness widens the falloff.	shape, main
scale	1	0.1 – 2	Size of the figure within the frame, before the shared zoom is applied.	shape
brightness	1	0 – 2	The scene’s overall light level, multiplying what it draws before the composite.	light, main
glow	1	0 – 4	Brightness of the halo around each stroke, on top of the stroke itself.	light, main
softness	0.25	0 – 1	How far a stroke’s edge fades out; 0 is a hard line, 1 a wide glow with no core.	light
stroke_blend	0	0 – 1	Moves the stroke from additive light toward opaque paint, so crossings stop brightening.	light
zoom	1	0.25 – 4	Scales the whole scene about its centre; above 1 fills more of the frame.	shape
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
mirror_reflect	0	0 – 1	Alternates the repeats into mirror images rather than plain rotations.	shape
ring_phase	0	0 – 1	Rotates each concentric ring against its neighbour.	motion
ring_spread	1	0 – 2	How far apart the rings sit radially.	shape
ring_scale	1	0.25 – 4	How much each ring grows over the one inside it.	shape
