## Overview

Example of a rendered plasma

All of the colors produced by Plasma are completely saturated. Sometimes the strong colors may be distracting, and a more interesting surface will appear when you desaturate the image using Colors Desaturate .

## Options

Presets, Input Type, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Split view
Turbulence

  This parameter controls the complexity of the plasma. High values give a hard feeling to the cloud (like an abstract oil painting or mineral grains), low values produce a softer cloud (like steam, mist or smoke). The range is 0.0 to 7.0.

Random seed

  This option controls the randomization element. The New Seed will generate a new seed. There is no reason to use anything else unless you want to be able to repeat the exact same pattern of randomization on a later occasion.
