Mystify FX · Core Concepts

This page documents every parameter available in the Mystify Effect Inspector. Parameters are organized into the same groups shown in the component.

General

Parameter	Description
Mesh Type	Use the existing mesh (Existing Object) or generate a built-in shape: Quad, Disc, Sphere, Hexasphere, Cylinder, or Cube.
Include	Controls which renderers the effect applies to: Only This Object, Include Children, Custom, or By Layer.
Profile	Assign an existing `MystifyEffectProfile` ScriptableObject with preconfigured settings, or create a new one.

Rendering Options

Parameter	Description
Cull Mode	Face culling: Front, Back, or Off (double-sided).
Always On Top	When enabled, the effect renders over all other geometry regardless of depth.
Grab Pass	When enabled, the effect composites over any previously rendered Mystify FX objects.
Always On	Keeps the effect visible even when the Renderer component is disabled.
Mask Texture	A texture whose alpha channel masks where effects appear (white = full effect, black = no effect).
Global Opacity	Master opacity for the entire effect (0 = invisible, 1 = fully visible).

Object

Parameter	Description
Scale	Adjusts the effect scale relative to the object's transform.
UV Scale	Scales texture coordinates to resize the effect pattern on the mesh surface.
UV Offset	Shifts texture coordinates to reposition the effect pattern.
Use Stop Motion	Applies a stepped (stop-motion) look to any animated effects.

Background

Parameter	Description
Zoom	Magnifies the background behind the effect mesh.
Source Offset	Shifts the origin of the background zoom effect.
Source Scale	Controls the intensity/spread of the background zoom.
Wrap Mode	Sets how background sampling wraps at edges: Clamp or Repeat.

2D Effects

Parameter	Description
Blur Intensity	Strength of the Gaussian blur applied to the effect surface.
Color Effect	Color grading mode: None, LUT, Thermal, or Directional Tint.
Brightness	Adjusts overall brightness of the effect output.
Contrast	Adjusts contrast of the effect output.
Vibrance	Adjusts color saturation of the effect output.
Background Distortion	Enables animated distortion of the background behind the mesh. Sub-parameters: amplitude, frequency, animation speed, and falloff.
Pixelate	Reduces resolution to create a mosaic / pixel-art look (higher values = larger pixels).
Rain	Simulates rain on a glass surface. Sub-parameters: rainfall amount, speed, wind direction, tiny drops, and large drops.
Scan Lines	Overlays animated horizontal scan lines. Sub-parameters: intensity, color, size, animation speed, and world-space toggle.
Crystallize	Breaks the image into crystal-like facets. Sub-parameters: scale and animation.
Frost Intensity	Generates an ice/frost effect along the edges and corners of the mesh. Sub-parameters: spread, color, and texture.
Haze Intensity	Adds an animated fog/haze overlay. Sub-parameters: scale, animation speed, and color.

3D Effects

Parameter	Description
Vertex Distortion	Displaces mesh vertices to create wobbly or pulsing geometry. Sub-parameters: amplitude and animation speed.
Intersection	Highlights edges where the effect mesh intersects other geometry. Sub-parameters: color, width, and falloff.
Rim	Adds a rim/edge glow around the silhouette. Sub-parameters: intensity, power, color, and optional custom texture.
Spectral Light	Generates volumetric fake lighting emanating from the mesh surface. Sub-parameters: gradient control and intensity.
Hexa Grid	Overlays an animated hexagonal grid pattern. Sub-parameters: scale, color, sweep amount, and sweep speed.
Hit Effect (Defaults)	Default values used when `HitFX()` is called without explicit parameters. Sub-parameters: intensity, color, radius, and speed.
