| Aurora Aurora borealis effect. Use Number and Size to characterize the aurora. Use Lifetime to speed up or slow down the animation. Change colours by modifying the left_light & right_light settings.
| Blue_Star Slow moving star. Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and TrailSize settings.
| Blue_Star_2 Slow moving star. Similar to Blue_Star, but with a bigger hotspot in the middle. Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and TrailSize settings.
| Blurry_Sparks Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and Speed settings to set how the sparks are emitted. Use the transparency, gravity, and size manipulators to specify the behaviour of the falling sparks.
| Cosmic_Light Try with the PD_ax settings.
| Cosmic_Marguerite_Blue Pulsating blue light. Try with galaxy_tex_ax settings (posX=0, posY=0, scaleX=14, scaleY=125).
| Cosmic_Marguerite_Green Pulsating and rotating green light. Orbit the camera.
| Eye_Strike Moving glows. Try with the circ_gradient1_ax and circ_gradient2_ax settings.
| Glowing_Star Try with the circgrad_tex_ax settings. Orbit the camera.
| Light_Mvt_1 Try with the PD_ax settings. Process with Motion Blur enabled.
| Light_Mvt_2 Orbit the camera.
| Light_Mvt_3 Orbit the camera (Orbit 90°).
| Light_Mvt_4 Change the Rotation and Spin settings.
| Light_Speed Use Number, Speed, and TrailSize settings. Use the speed manipulator’s power to set the Z acceleration.
| Moving_Star_Field Flying into space. Use Number and Speed settings.
| Pulsar Pulsating glow. Use Number, Lifetime, Size, Speed, and TrailSize settings.
| Red_Pulse Pulsating red star. Customize the star with Number and Speed settings. Set the star’s intensity with transparency magnitude.
| Red_Thing Glowing red light. Change the colour with the Light Colour settings.
| Space_Dust Reset vortex (Rot_Z) and try with vortex (Rot_Y). Try vortex (Rot_Y=-90). Change the camera settings.
| Space_Odyssey Change the space_tex_ax settings (animated) and emitter_ax1 Rot_X setting.
| Star Glowing animated star. Use Number, Size, and Speed settings to characterize the star. Change colour using the light’s Colour settings.
| Star_Field Flickering stars in the sky. Modify Number at frame 0 to control the amount of stars in the sky.
| Star_Glow Glowing aggregate of stars. Customize the generator with the Rotation and Spin settings.
| Stellar Orbit the camera and change the stellar_tex_ax settings.
| Stellar_Fusion Rotating celestial bodies. Orbit the camera.
