Gobo Layer
Far shadow layer with tree, fern, and leaf textures.
The far shadow. This layer draws from embedded 4K shadow maps of real organic shapes - trees, ferns, leaves. It produces that dappled, through-the-canopy light that immediately reads as "outdoors" or "window with foliage outside."
The gobo tiles seamlessly and blends at two scales for a natural, non-repeating look.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enable Gobo | Toggle | On | Turns the entire gobo layer on or off. |
| Gobo | Choice15 textures | Tree 01 | Which shadow map to use. Trees, ferns, and leaves - each has its own density and character. |
| Scale | Float0.1 - 5.0 | 1.5 | Texture zoom. Lower values spread more shadow across the frame. Higher values zoom in for tighter detail. |
| Blur | Float0% - 100% | 60% | Softens the shadow edges. Simulates the light source being farther away - closer light means harder shadows. |
| Offset X | Float-2.0 - 2.0 | 0.0 | Horizontal position. |
| Offset Y | Float-2.0 - 2.0 | 0.0 | Vertical position. |
| Rotation | Float-180 - 180 | 0 | Rotates the shadow pattern in degrees. |
| Density | Float0% - 100% | 80% | How much shadow the gobo casts. Lower values let more light through. |
Gobo Textures
| Texture | Character |
|---|---|
| Tree 01 - 12 | Varied tree canopies. Each has a different branch structure and leaf density. |
| Fern 01 - 02 | Delicate, feathered fronds. |
| Leaves 01 | Dense, overlapping leaf cluster. |
Tips
- Lower Scale (0.5 - 1.0) with moderate Blur gives a wide, atmospheric shadow wash. Higher Scale (2.0+) isolates individual branches and leaf shapes.
- Combine the gobo with the Frame layer (blinds or window) to simulate foliage visible through a window.
- Try different gobo textures with the same settings. Each texture has its own personality at every scale.
- Animate Offset X/Y over time for a slow pan effect, or let the built-in drift handle it automatically.
