Mindstorm for After Effects
"Chaos is where the fun begins, where the unexpected happens." — Unknown
Mindstorm is a ScriptUI panel that randomizes the parameters of the Fractal Noise effect, leading to wild, unpredictable and rarely seen noise patterns.
Mindstorm works as a one-click solution to generating endless variations for the Fractal Noise effect. Here's how it works:
- Select a layer that has the Fractal Noise effect applied
- Click the 'Mindstorm' button
Watch before your eyes as chaos determines the parameter values!
By clicking the 'Options' button, you are given the ability to choose the Minimum and Maximum values for all the parameters that Mindstorm randomizes. Here, you can apply your changes or reset all parameters to their default settings.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Closing the ScriptUI window will reset your settings to default. Saving settings will come in a future update.
- Currently only supports randomizing Scale when Uniform Scaling is checked
- Some parameters don't get randomized as it'd probably just be annoying
- In the Options menu, the sliders use the true Minimum and Maximum values of the Fractal Noise parameters.
