Op Art 3 generator in Motion
This generator creates mathematically oriented patterns using a repetition of simple
shapes. Although some static patterns create a visual illusion of movement, you can build
truly moving moiré patterns by keyframing Op Art parameters.
Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:
• Line Thickness: A slider that sets the thickness of the lines in the pattern.
• Color 1: Color controls that set the first color of the generator.
• Color 2: Color controls that set the second color of the generator. For more information
on using the color controls, see Use basic color controls in Motion.
• Contrast: A slider that sets how sharp or blurred the division is between the lines and
the background.
• Wavelength: A slider that sets the frequency of the wave.
• Amplitude: A slider that sets the height of the wave.
• Skew: A slider that sets rotation of the wave pattern.
• Roundness: A slider that adjusts the shape of the wave.
Overlapping Circles generator in Motion
The Overlapping Circles generator creates orbs of two different colors that overlay each
other. You can use a third color for the background.
Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:
• Center: A slider that sets the center of the generator pattern.
• Color 1: Color controls that set the first color of the generator.
