A random value is given that is at maximum four times the angle obtained by dividing 360 degrees by the number of lines.

Unit: Angle
This parameter sets the angle of the hole.

Random Interval

Unit: Number of frames
This parameter specifies the number of frames between updates of randomized parameters.

Random Array

Unit: Number of patterns
This parameter sets a number of randomization patterns by limiting the number of times randomization is performed.
A number of randomized data patterns equal to the specified value are repeated and reused.
When set to 0, re-randomization is performed for each randomized update, and no pattern is created.

Info

When this parameter is set to 1, the number of randomization patterns is 1, so only one pattern is repeated and reused, making it look like there are no randomized updates.

Random Seed

Unit: Integer value
This parameter sets the random seed value.
By setting it to a value other than 0, you can change the random number table and fix the order of appearance of random numbers.

Group Lines

Unit: %
This parameter sets the number of lines to be assembled in each group.
The value is a percentage of the number of lines specified by Density of Lines.

Info

The number of lines in each group may not be the same if the number of lines is not divisible.

Unit: %
This parameter is used to randomize the value of Group Lines for each group.
The value specified here is the maximum of the random value which is applied as an amount of change¹ to the value of Group Lines.

Attraction

Unit: %
This parameter sets the force of attraction between the lines in a group.

Info

When this value is 0%, there is no attraction and the result is the same as when grouping is disabled.

Interval Random

Unit: %
This parameter is used to randomize the angle interval between groups.

Offset and Repeat Directory

In this section, we describe the parameters used for radial offset animation centered on the vanishing point and line repeating.

Repeat Interval

Unit: Pixels
This parameter sets the interval between radial line repetitions.

Random Repeat Num

Unit: Integer
This parameter sets the number of random patterns for each repetition.

The repeat functionality is achieved by repeating random line patterns in a ripple pattern. This parameter specifies the number of times the randomization parameters are re-randomized to create one repetition.

When set to 0 there is only 1 random pattern, when set to 1, a random pattern is added, and 2 patterns of focus lines are drawn alternately, and so on.

Difference between Random Repeat Num=0 and 1
0	1
