Mix Trough 0-1.
Blend Selector Add, Multiply, Screen, Difference, XOR, Replace, or Phoenix.
Shape Selector Flat, Sphere, or Flow.
Density Trough 0-1. Point and line grid resolution.
Depth Amount Trough 0-1. How strongly depth pushes points off their shape.
Perspective Trough 0-2. 0 is flat.
Zoom Trough 0.1-4.
Orbit / Tilt Wheel -180 to 180 degrees.
Point Size Trough 0.5-8 px.
Style Selector Points, Horiz Scanlines, Vert Scanlines, Depth Circles, Wireframe, Radial Scan, Trail/Comet, or Solid Mesh.
Backdrop Rocker Replace only. Removes the chain behind the point cloud; the gaps between points and lines stay empty, black on the output.
Trail Trough 0-1. Trail/Comet only: how much of the previous frame’s points persist.
