SandWorks well with
Phyllotaxis Grid
Vogel sunflower florets at the golden angle, lit domes coloured by age, each carrying one of 21 marks opened by bloom rings. Use for organic, botanical and premium floors.
GridVolumetric Fog
Ray-marched ground fog around the object: domain-warped density, Beer-Lambert light, self-shadowing and forward scattering toward the light. Use for mist, swamps, mystery, dawn.
EffectAurora
Flowing color ribbons (northern lights). Use for polar, atmospheric, magical-curtain effects.
EffectCanyon
A placeable patch of canyon country: stratified mesas cut by a branching incised channel network, easing down to its base at the edge. Footprint is the object's scale. Use for red-rock deserts, western and Mars scenes.
LandFalling Leaves
Leaves drifting past the object, each one integrating the Andersen-Pesavento-Wang falling-plate equations, so they flutter, glide and tumble like real leaves.
EffectFirefly Swarm
Kuramoto-coupled fireflies drifting on a divergence-free flow: random blinking slowly locks into sync, with ripples of light rolling through the swarm. Use for night, garden, forest, magical scenes.
