Captures an effect preview and measures silhouette fragmentation so noisy, cluttered, or combat-unfriendly shapes are easier to catch before they spread across a library.

How to Use (Step-by-Step)

  1. Open Silhouette Noise Analyzer from the VFX menu and assign the effect object you want to measure.
  2. Set the preview resolution, effect sample time, alpha threshold, and background color so the test matches the gameplay context you care about.
  3. Render the effect preview and let the tool measure transition density, disconnected islands, and edge occupancy.
  4. Review the silhouette noise score to see whether the effect is becoming too fragmented or noisy for gameplay readability.
  5. Export the preview PNG and JSON report if you want to compare iterations with the team.
