Spiral and whirl distortion
Twists pixels around a chosen center to create a whirlpool, spiral, portal or localized rotational distortion.
Vortex
Overview
What Vortex does
Pixels inside the effect radius rotate progressively around Center. The amount of rotation typically falls off toward the outside of the affected region.
Size defines how much of the frame participates. Angle/Power control how aggressively the image is twisted.
Because the effect is spatially localized, it is useful for transitions and effects that should disturb only one part of the image.
When to use it
Portal or whirlpool transition
Twist a logo or title
Abstract background deformation
Localized impact effect
Spiral light texture
