Engine/Effects

Every effect, in detail.

One page per effect. Each shows the finished result, then takes it apart: every element it puts on screen with a real example, how it is made step by step, every rule with the reason behind it, and every setting with its value. The examples are cut from real lectures the engine produced, not mocked up.
