Void Rift draws a tear in space along every line. Each line becomes a dark, writhing gap edged by a thin, bright boundary, surrounded by a violet shimmer, with small sparks thrown off to the side as it churns. It is the darkest of the line effects, built to look like something unnatural.

How it looks

The rift itself is near-black purple with a faint moving texture inside, and its outline warps and breathes along the line. Around it, a shimmering band in Lens Color suggests light being bent near the edge. A very thin, bright line runs along the boundary, flickering in a fast travelling pattern. Sparks in Radiation Color pop up along the line, drift sideways as they age, warm toward orange and fade. Faint purple strands bleed through inside the rift.

Settings

  • Speed sets how fast the rift writhes and the sparks cycle.
  • Rift Width sets how wide the dark gap is.
  • Radiation Density sets how many sparks are active, up to twelve per line.
  • Rift Color sets the inside of the tear; Radiation Color the sparks; Lens Color the shimmer and edge.

Use it for

Portals and dimensional tears, cosmic horror, sci-fi anomalies, villain reveals and dark fantasy scenes. It sits naturally next to the black hole effect and the portal effect.
