Worm
Overview
What Worm does
Worm is useful for hand-drawn lines, animated routes, underlines, light trails and organic masks. Unlike a simple polygon path, the appearance of the pen is part of the tool, so the stroke can be art-directed directly without building a separate outline system.
Pen Thickness and Thickness Bias control the body of the stroke, while Join Type and End Type determine whether corners and tips look technical, beveled or soft and rounded. RGBA and Pen Opacity keep color and transparency under direct control.
For polished motion graphics, separate stroke generation from post-processing. A clean Worm can feed Glow, Blur, ColorCorrector or Merge, which keeps the curve editable while the final look remains modular.
