Curtain Effect

Effect-Curtain settings

Opens and closes like theater curtains from a specified edge with optional swag drape.

Parameters

Parameter Type Range Description
Curtain Edge dropdown left, center, right, bottom, middle, top Edge or pair of edges the curtain opens/closes from; center and middle split the curtain into two symmetrically-moving halves (default left)
Effect dropdown open, close, open then close, close then open Curtain motion; open reveals the model, close covers it, combined modes do both within the effect duration (default open)
Swag Width slider 0-10 Width of the decorative draped curve at the curtain edge; higher values create a wider parabolic swag hanging from the top (default 3)
Swag Speed slider 0.0-10.0 Speed of the curtain's open/close motion; values above 1 finish before the effect ends, values below 1 slow it down (default 1.0)
Repeat checkbox true/false Cycles the curtain motion repeatedly for the effect duration instead of playing once (default false)

Curtain Edge and Swag Width sliders support value curves.

Tips

Use open then close to frame a musical phrase. The Swag Width slider adds a natural drape curve at the curtain edge. Increase Swag Speed above 1 to make the curtain finish its motion before the effect ends, or enable Repeat to loop the open/close cycle throughout the effect.
