Controls

Parameter / Script Name Type Default Function
Enabled / enabled Boolean On
Instance Mode / instanceMode Choice Source
Template / instance_template Image -
Num. Dimensions / numDimensions Choice 1
Dimension 1 Size / dim0_size Float 3
Dimension 2 Size / dim1_size Float 1
Dimension 3 Size / dim2_size Float 1
Dimension 4 Size / dim3_size Float 1
Instance Origin / layersOriginMode Choice Global Origin
Instance Origin X / originX Choice Center
Instance Origin Y / originY Choice Center
Instance Transform 1 / transformDim0
Accumulate Transform 1 / accumTransform Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the transform applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Transform First Instance 1 / appliesToFirstInstance Boolean Off When checked, the instance transform is also applied to the first instance
Instance Transform 2 / transformDim1
Accumulate Transform 2 / accumTransform1 Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the transform applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Transform First Instance 2 / appliesToFirstInstance1 Boolean Off When checked, the instance transform is also applied to the first instance
Instance Transform 3 / transformDim2
Accumulate Transform 3 / accumTransform2 Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the transform applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Transform First Instance 3 / appliesToFirstInstance2 Boolean Off When checked, the instance transform is also applied to the first instance
Instance Transform 4 / transformDim3
Accumulate Transform 4 / accumTransform3 Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the transform applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Transform First Instance 4 / appliesToFirstInstance3 Boolean Off When checked, the instance transform is also applied to the first instance
Motion-Blur Settings / motionBlurSettings Choice Disabled
Motion-Blur Quality / mbQuality Float 0.25 Quality of the motion-blur sampling. 0 disables motion-blur. 0.25 gives an appropriate amount of samples. The higher the value, the slower the render.
Shutter Angle / shutterAngle Float 180 The shutter angle controls the time period over which light can pass. A wider angle increases motion-blur
Shutter Phase / shutterPhaseType Choice Centered
Custom Phase / customPhase Float -90 An offset to the shutter angle, assuming the shutter opens at 0°: A Shutter angle of 180° with a phase of -90° means that the shutter will be opened half a frame, centered around the current time
Layer Index Mode / layerIndexMode Choice Bottom To Top
Instance Index / layerIndex Float 0
Layer Index Start Offset / layerIndexStartOffset Float 0
Layer Index Step / layerIndexStep Float 1
Layer Index Wrap / layerIndexWrapMode Choice Loop
Layer Index Seed / layerIndexRandomSeed Float 0
Index Mode / instanceIndexMode Choice Forward How to iterate through instances. This affects Accumulate Transform, Accumulate Time Offset , Accumulate Opacity and blending order
Shuffle Seed / instanceShuffleSeed Float 0
Instance Time Offset / timeOffset Time 0
Accumulate Time Offset / accumTimeOffset Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the time offset applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Accumulate Time Offset Mode / timeOffsetMode Choice Stacking Index Whether to use the Instance Index or the Stacking Index to accumulate the time offset
Instance Opacity / opacity Float 1
Accumulate Opacity / accumOpacity Boolean Off When checked, each instance have the opacity applied as many times as its instance index + 1
Instance Blend Mode / blendMode Choice Normal
Use Composition Format / crop_to_comp Boolean On The output image will be set to the composition format. Useful to increase performances when a lot of elements are instanced outside the Composition
