Spin Effect

The Spin effect can be used to continuously rotate parts of an image around its center or a specified point.

Effect Settings

• Elliptical: If you want to skew the animated object and rotate it like an ellipse.
• Mode: UV animates the selected pixels while Vertex will always rotate the entire image.
• Perspective: Make the rotation independent from the aspect ratio of the image.
• Repeat: Repeat the image around the borders, otherwise clamp it.
• Opacity mask: Allows you to draw a mask which determines which pixels will be affected.
• Center: The point to rotate around. Use the picker to easily select it by clicking somewhere on the image.
• Feather: Adds a smooth transition at the outer edges of the spin effect.
• Time offset: Adds a small delayed start to the effect, this can be useful if you are using the effect multiple times throughout your wallpaper and want to ensure they are not synchronized.
• Speed: Determines how fast the rotation is.
• Angle (Elliptical only): The angle/orientation of the ellipsis.
• Ratio (Elliptical only): How much the ellipsis is compressed/stretched.
