Object effectWorks well with
Aurora
Flowing color ribbons (northern lights). Use for polar, atmospheric, magical-curtain effects.
EffectAurora Ribbon Trail
An aurora cursor: a ribbon of northern lights trails the mouse, flowing green, cyan and magenta. For night, nature, winter and dreamy scenes.
CursorBloom
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 effectCandle
A candle with a flickering flame that casts warm, moving light on its surroundings. Use for cosy, intimate and night scenes.
LightDepth of Field
Depth of field post-processing: blur everything in front of or behind the focus, like a camera lens, to draw the eye to your subject.
Post-processing effectFluorescent Tube
A fluorescent tube fixture: a soft area light with a stuttering start, ballast hum, green tint and ageing, for offices, garages and horror scenes.
