Dynamic Shadow Box

🏷️ Category: Special Object

💡 Simple Explanation: A smart 3D box where you can easily change the material of each side individually.

⚙️ Technical Description: A parametric 3D box object that generates geometry based on an underlying model, allowing for dynamic material assignment to specific faces/slots.

📖 Full Details & Properties

🔧 How It Works: Unlike a standard cube which uses one material (or a complex UV map), this box exposes “slots” for each of its faces or components. You can assign different images or videos to each side without needing 3D modeling software.

✨ Perfect For:

• Creating 3D rooms or stages
• Display boxes for products or alerts
• Multi-screen setups (one screen per face)

📋 Properties:

Property	Type	Description
Material Slots	List	A list of named slots (e.g., “Front”, “Top”). Drag materials here to assign them.
Build	Button	Triggers a rebuild of the model geometry. Use this if the shape looks wrong.

🎬 Streaming Example: “[Dynamic Shadow Box] used as a ‘room’ for your avatar, with different wallpapers on each wall.”

3D Text

🏷️ Category: Special Object

💡 Simple Explanation: Text that exists as a 3D object in your scene.

⚙️ Technical Description: A 3D text object that has depth and volume, unlike standard 2D UI text.

📖 Full Details & Properties

🔧 How It Works: Generates 3D geometry for text characters. This text can cast shadows, receive lighting, and be rotated in 3D space just like a cube or sphere.

✨ Perfect For:

• Floating logos
• Big 3D headers
• Signage in your virtual set

📋 Properties:

Property	Description
Text	The content string to display.
Font	The font asset to use.
Size	The scale of the text.
Depth	The extrusion depth (thickness) of the 3D letters.
Bevel	The amount of beveling on the edges.
Bevel Style	The style of the bevel (e.g., Round, Flat).
Front Material	Material for the face of the text.
Side Material	Material for the extruded sides.
Bevel Material	Material for the beveled edges.
Shadow Cast Mode	How the text casts shadows (On, Off, TwoSided, ShadowsOnly).
Receive Shadows	Whether the text receives shadows from other objects.
Alignment	Major (Horizontal) and Minor (Vertical) alignment.
Spacing	Line Spacing and Letter Spacing.

🎬 Streaming Example: “[3D Text] displaying your channel name floating above the stage.”

Sticky Canvas

🏷️ Category: Special Object

💡 Simple Explanation: A canvas that sticks to the camera lens. It looks like a 2D UI overlay but exists in the 3D world.

⚙️ Technical Description: A specialized render quad that automatically aligns its position and rotation to remain fixed in front of a specific camera, simulating a Screen Space UI while remaining in World Space.

📖 Full Details & Properties

🔧 How It Works: Every frame, this object calculates the camera’s position and rotation and moves itself to stay exactly in front of it. This creates the illusion of a 2D HUD (Heads Up Display) or overlay, but allows for 3D lighting and effects to still interact with it.

✨ Perfect For:

• HUDs and UI overlays
• “Sticker” effects that follow the view
• Chat boxes that need to stay on screen

📋 Properties:

Property	Type	Description
Render On All Cameras	Bool	If true, it appears on every camera. If false, only on specific ones.
Cameras	List	The specific cameras this canvas should stick to.
Content	Material	The material (image/video/web source) to display.
Canvas Distance	Float	How far from the camera the canvas floats.

🎬 Streaming Example: “[Sticky Canvas] holding your chat box so it’s always visible, even when the camera moves.”

---

Vector Shape

🏷️ Category: Special Object

💡 Simple Explanation: Crisp, clean 2D shapes like circles, stars, and arrows.

⚙️ Technical Description: Generates high-quality 2D geometry based on vector primitives. Supports fills and strokes.

📖 Full Details & Properties

🔧 How It Works: Procedurally generates mesh geometry for common shapes. Unlike an image texture, these stay crisp at any resolution because they are real geometry.

✨ Perfect For:

• UI backgrounds
• Decorative elements
• Arrows and pointers
• Masks

📋 Properties:

Property	Description
Rebuild	Button to regenerate the shape mesh.
Shape	The type of shape to generate (e.g., Rectangle, Circle, Arrow, Star, PolyLine).
Fill	Material used for the interior of the shape.
Stroke	Material used for the outline of the shape.
[Shape Specific]	Dynamic properties based on the selected shape (e.g., Sides, Radius, Thickness, Corner Radius).

🎬 Streaming Example: “[Vector Shape] creating a rounded rectangle background for your webcam border.”

Audio Visualizer

🏷️ Category: Special Object

💡 Simple Explanation: Makes things move or light up to the music. Creates animated bar visualizations that react to audio in real-time.

⚙️ Technical Description: Analyzes audio spectrum data via FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) from microphones, system audio, or in-scene audio players. Generates customizable bar-based visualizations and exposes spectrum data for use with the DecibelLevel node.

📖 Full Details & Properties

🔧 How It Works: Listens to an audio source and breaks it down into frequency bands (bass, mids, treble). It renders animated bars that respond to the audio and can output volume data via the DecibelLevel node for driving other effects.

✨ Perfect For:

• Music visualizers for streams
• Talking animations (lip sync)
• Beat-reactive lighting and effects
• VU meters and audio level displays

Input Source Modes

The Audio Visualizer supports four different audio input modes:

Mode	Description	Shows

🎬 Streaming Examples:

• “Make a talking head animation react to your microphone using Recording Device and the DecibelLevel node.”
• “Sync bar heights to in-game sound effects using Stage Audio Player mode.”

🎯 Tips:

• Use the DecibelLevel node to get the volume level from this object for driving other effects.
• Playback Device captures desktop audio without needing virtual audio cables - it captures everything you hear (game + music + Discord).
• Higher Channels values give more accurate frequency analysis but use more CPU.
• Adjust Bass Sensibility and Treble Sensibility to balance the visualization for your audio source.
• Use Mirror mode for symmetric visualizations where bass appears in the center.
• The Min/Max Frequency sliders let you focus on specific frequency ranges (e.g., just bass for a subwoofer effect).
• For voice reactivity, use Recording Device mode. For music reactivity, use Playback Device mode.
