PYROCLUSTER

REFERENCE 17

The measurement of intensity for the selected color knot.

A few effects can have transparency added via an alpha channel gradient. To edit 
the alpha channel gradient, enable the Edit Alpha option; a grayscale gradient will 

replace the current gradient. Where the gradient is white the defined color will be fully 
opaque whereas black on the gradient indicates full transparency. To see a preview 
of the transparency in the gradient, enable Display Result.

Enable the Edit Alpha option to show and modify the gradient’s corresponding alpha 
channel, which determines the transparency over the length of the gradient.

Enabling the Display Result option displays the gradient taking the alpha channel into 
account. This gradient is the one that will actually be used in the render.

To open this menu Right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the gradient.

Reverses the gradient. 

The amount of knots is doubled.

The gradient will change to solid white.

There are so many parameters that interact with one another that the number of 

combinations for a PyroCluster effect are nearly endless. Think carefully about the 
effect you want to create. Try to break it down into issues of color and time.

Take a flamethrower effect; what does a real one look like? Close to the flamethrower 

nozzle the flame is a hot, transparent white and blue, while the further away the 

flame is from the nozzle, the darker, redder and more opaque it becomes.
