Solar corona: orange streamers flaring from an eclipsed sun
Solar corona draws the Corona structure as a total eclipse: a dark disc ringed by a thin, hot chromosphere, with long orange and amber streamers reaching out into the black. Small loops of light rise along the rim like prominences, about 26 of them at Fold complexity 4. Membrane edge softness 60 widens the bloom, so the whole flare glows warmly instead of ending in hard lines.
Make it yours
Stretch the streamers
Fluid tension sets how far the streamers reach and how high the loops climb. At 60 they spread about a disc width; push it to 90 for long flares that run off the frame.
Count the prominences
Fold complexity changes how many small loops stand on the rim: roughly 14 at 1, 26 at 4 and 42 at 8. Fewer loops give a calmer, cleaner ring around the disc.
FAQ
Is Solar corona based on a real eclipse photo?
It is inspired by the look of a total eclipse, not traced from one. The streamers, the small loops and the thin rim are all generated from code as filaments of light, so you can recolor them, move the disc and change how far they reach.
How it works
Pick a structure
Start from one of 16 looks such as Plum smoke, Aurora curtain or Spectral prism, or choose one of 8 flow structures: tide, iris, wings, cells, division, shell, curtain or corona.
Tune the light
Shape it with fold complexity, fluid tension and filament density, then set translucency, edge contrast, the iridescent edge and membrane edge softness for the glow. Drag the artwork to place it.
Color and use it
Set the background, first, second and light colors, press Play for a seamless loop of about 17 seconds, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
