This is presets/starters/static.aurora: the generator alone, with its defaults.
Colours
A layer’s colors picks 3 palette colours, in the order below. To recolour part of the background, change the palette colour in that position.
| Position | Paints | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Dark field | oklch(0.13 0.025 265) |
| 1 | Signal noise | oklch(0.4 0.08 230) |
| 2 | Interference highlights | oklch(0.8 0.12 195) |
Parameters
Every parameter is optional; one you leave out uses its default.
| Name | Label | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
size | Cell size | 2 px | 1 to 8 | Noise cell size in whole canvas pixels. |
rate | Rate | 8 /s | 0 to 30 | Signal updates per second; 0 freezes the noise and interference. |
contrast | Contrast | 0.35 | 0 to 1 | Brightness and contrast of the signal noise. |
interference | Interference | 0.35 | 0 to 1 | Strength of the rolling horizontal signal bands. |
dropout | Dropout | 0.25 | 0 to 1 | Amount of dark horizontal signal loss. |
seed | Seed | 0 | 0 to 100 | Different signal noise. |
Implementation note
Built on the shared noise library: hash.
