Renders the chain, or an AUX bus, as a 3D field of points or lines, displaced by brightness.
| Parameter | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Color Source | Selector | Chain composite (default) or AUX 1 to AUX 8. |
| Depth Source | Selector | Generated (default) derives depth from Color Source’s brightness; AUX 1 to AUX 8 read depth from a bus. |
| 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. |
