PhotonSpikeBall

 

PhotonSpikeBall is an element in a form of beams of light coming out of a single center.

Preview of the element PhotonSpikeBall

The Color of the PhotonSpikeBall is set on a gradient line that has two white sliders initially. The left slider represents the color in the center of the element, the right slider - the edge color, with soft transitions between them.

To change a slider color you should double-click on it with the left mouse button and choose a color from the Standard color selection dialog box. You can add an infinite number of intermediate sliders and set a color to each of them.

Color selection

The Size parameter sets the size of PhotonSpikeBall element as a percentage of the minimal image size, so that the element applied to the image at 100% Size would fit in.
Size = 40% Size = 100%
Size = 40% Size = 100%

The Opacity parameter sets the opacity level of the light effect. The default value of the parameter is 100% that corresponds to a solid PhotonSpikeBall element. The less is the parameter value the more transparent the element would be. With Opacity =0% the element is completely transparent.
Opacity = 50% Opacity = 100%
Opacity = 50% Opacity = 100%

The Rays count parameter sets the number of rays in the element.
Rays count = 15 Rays count = 70
Rays count = 15 Rays count = 70

The Random size sets the spikes length diapason. With the diapason set to zero all spikes have the same maximum size. When Random size is 50% the length randomly varies between the half and the whole length. With Random Size at 100% the length of the spikes randomly varies between the zero and the whole length.
Random size = 0% Random size = 95%
Random size = 0% Random size = 95%

The Random seed is the starting number for the random-number generator. This parameter is set within the range of 0 to 9999; every number produces a unique distribution of rayss within the element.
Random seed = 1084 Random seed = 2897 Random seed = 7564
Random seed = 1084 Random seed = 2897 Random seed = 7564
