Anodized titanium: diagonal pleats in bronze, purple and blue oxide
Anodized titanium crops in close on the Pleats sculpture at Subject scale 140, laid on a diagonal by Direction 25, so a few broad pleats fill the frame. The Anodized material colors the metal with an oxide ramp that steps from bronze through purple to blue and gold, and Color dispersion 90 lets that ramp take over almost completely. A Raking light rig skims the pleats from low on one side, so their crests light up while the valleys fall into the dark.

Show more pleats
Subject scale 140 crops into a handful of pleats. Bring it back to 100 and set Fold frequency to 6, and the frame fills with a fine, fast rhythm of oxide-colored folds.
Let the titanium show through
Color dispersion decides how much oxide covers the metal. Lower it to 0 and the gray Metal color #6E6A66 shows through, softening the bronze and blue into smoky titanium.
FAQ
Why does Anodized titanium change color across each pleat?
Real anodized titanium gets its color from an oxide layer whose thickness decides the hue. Luminous Alloy mimics that with a ramp tied to the height and angle of the surface, so crests, slopes and valleys each land on a different color.
How it works
Choose a shoot
Start from one of 16 looks such as Chrome ribbon, Holographic foil or Burgundy lacquer, or pick one of 8 sculptures and one of 7 materials.
Light it
Choose a lighting rig and a composition (full bleed, object or horizon), then set polish, light direction, reflection contrast, color dispersion, fine ripples and sculptural depth.
Color and use it
Set the background, metal, second light and light colors, press Play for a seamless loop of about 18 seconds, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
