Plasma is the default line effect: lines that glow in strong, saturated colors and slowly cycle through the color wheel, with brightness that pulses as the waves pass. It is a simple, bold way to make a wireframe or an outline look like flowing energy.
How it looks
The color comes from three overlapping waves that move at different speeds, mixed into a hue and drawn at high saturation. Over time the hue drifts through the spectrum, so a shape that is magenta now will be blue or green a few seconds later. On top of the color, a fourth wave pulses the brightness, so the light seems to flow rather than sit still. The colors are lifted toward pastel brightness, which keeps them luminous rather than dark.
Settings
- Speed sets how fast the colors travel and the brightness pulses.
- Intensity sets the brightness and strength of the lines.
- Density sets how tightly the color waves are packed.
Use it for
Sci-fi energy outlines, neon logo wireframes, music and party visuals, and any scene where a shape should feel charged without the busyness of electric arcs. For a snaking beam with your own three colors, use Serpent; for a full rainbow, Rainbow.

Serpent
A snaking plasma beam along every line, shifting between magenta, cyan and chartreuse, with shimmer and bright glints.
Line EffectsTesla
Electric arcs along every line of a shape: three jagged, forking blue discharges with white-hot cores and rapid flicker.
Line EffectsSolar
A turbulent solar filament along every line: white-hot core, orange body, deep red edges, small jets and occasional flares.
Line EffectsGhost
Glowing signal packets racing along every line with fading trails and glitch flicker, in phosphor green.
Line EffectsVoid Rift
A dark rift along every line: a writhing black tear with a bright edge, violet shimmer and sparks drifting away.
Line EffectsElectric
High-frequency blue-white lightning on every line: a hard core, a blue glow, fast flicker and strikes that come and go.

Strange Attractor
Glowing trails of a Lorenz, Aizawa or Thomas strange attractor, integrated with RK4; neighbouring strands drift apart. Use for chaos, science, data art, energy.
EffectBloom
Bloom post-processing: the brightest parts of a 3D scene glow and spill light, so neon, sparks and emissive materials read as light.
Post-processing effectEffects
Animated 3D effects: auras, lightning, black holes, galaxies, smoke, fire, fog and more, many built on the real physics they show.

Light the targets up with an emissive glow
Object effectHarmonic Shell
An iridescent soap-film shell shaped by morphing spherical harmonics, with glowing nodal lines. Use for energy shields, magic, vibration, organic sci-fi.
