Halo

Halo sets your pictures as prints on a tilted ring. The picture that comes round to the front steps out of the ring toward the viewer, grows and comes to full colour, while the others ride the ring faded and grey.

How it works

The ring turns on a damped spring, so each move to the next picture has a little weight and settles without a hard stop. The prints are lit by the scene's own lights, with a matte or satin finish set by Roughness. The step out, the growth and the return to colour all take the same Change time, so the front picture arrives as one gesture. Halo is made for the Ring layout but works on any of them.

Settings

• Step out: how far the front picture comes out of the ring toward the viewer.
• Focus scale: how much larger the front picture grows.
• Change time: seconds a picture takes to step out and come to colour.
• Dim: how faded the pictures on the ring are.
• Roughness: the finish of the prints under the scene's light.
• Layout and Shape: Ring by default; Shape sets the ring's tilt, from seen edge-on to steep.
• Autoplay: seconds between automatic turns, 0 for off.
