DECAY
Decay Effect
The control for the Decay effect is on the Camera fixture. Since it is on the
Camera fixture, decay works on the composite image created by all five
layers.
In the example to the right a gobo has been given a Z-spin value and
decay has been applied.
Note:
Decay will only work against a background of "nothingness." This means the absence of content (no texture or
object). If no layer is above 0% opacity, all you have is black "nothingness," the absence of content. If you put a gobo
on Layer 1, texture it and then rotate or move it with decay turned on, you will see the effect.
If you put a gobo on Layer 2 in front of a full-screen texture on Layer 1 and then turn on decay, you will not see any
decay.
You cannot tell that the gobo is rotating from the picture, but it is. But you see no decay, as there is no "nothingness"
behind it. However, if you reduce the opacity of Layer 1 behind the gobo, you can begin to see the decay.
