Light Painting

A long-exposure photograph of a handheld light writing in the dark: trail brightness follows 1/pen speed, colour cools from hot to warm, and a sparkler throws ballistic sparks. Use for night-photo titles, signatures and festive reveals.

Chalkboard

Single-stroke chalk on slate: pressure-dependent deposit on a fixed grainy board with powdery halo, falling dust at the pen and a felt-smudge erase leaving ghosts. Use for classrooms, menus and hand-made titles.

Handwriting

A pen writes the text in single strokes, slowing in tight curves where the ink pools and drying from wet sheen to rest colour; a faint sheen drifts over the dry ink. Use for signatures, titles and invitations.

Ink Bleed

Fountain-pen ink soaking into fibrous paper: a wetting front feathers along the fibres, dye separates into a coloured fringe and dries to a darker rim. Use for letters, journals and artisanal titles.

Neon Tube

Letter outlines as glass neon tubing: a gas discharge ignites each contour, stuttering before it settles into a steady hum with slow breathing and the odd micro-dip. Use for signs, nightlife and retro titles.

Plasma Discharge

Electrical breakdown along the letter contours: a white-hot arc channel with a violet halo, fractal streamers forking outward, current pulses and breathing branches. Use for sci-fi, energy and tech titles.

Burn Away

Letters cut from singed cream paper with smouldering embers; the erase is a combustion front travelling along the strokes leaving glowing edge, cracked char and ash. Use for dramatic reveals, titles and storytelling.

Works well with

Bloom

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 effect

Afterimage trail

Leave fading glassy copies of a 3D object along its path whenever it moves. A motion trail you add to any move.

Object effect

Aura Glow

An aura glow cursor: a soft iridescent halo with electric tendrils that follows the mouse. For wellness, magic and dreamy scenes.

Cursor

Aurora 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.

Cursor

Blue Star

Cool stellar atmosphere — cobalt outer fade with a brilliant cyan-white limb

Corona

Comet Trail

A 3D comet cursor: a glowing head with a fading tail of light that follows the mouse across your scene. For space, sci-fi and night sites.
