Built-in Asset Library

Lightform Creator provides a library of built-in custom effects and generators, images, and videos to instantly apply animations and motion content to your scene.

Effects utilize the scan data (colors, disparity, normals, edges, and distance to edges) to create context-aware graphics.

Generators procedurally generate graphics that are not affected by scan data. They'll be projected in the same way regardless of what the user is projecting onto.
