Solar horizon: sunset light along the top and bottom of the frame
Solar horizon uses the same edge field as Solar edge but turns it on its side. With Angle at 90 the two bands run horizontally, and a Shape scale of 110 parks them at the very top and bottom of the frame, so mostly their inner glow spills into view. The sunset spectrum and a Glow of 65 warm up a deep aubergine backdrop, leaving a wide, quiet band in the middle for content.
Make it yours
Pull the horizons into view
Shape scale at 110 keeps both bands half outside the frame. Reduce it to 70-80 and they move toward the center as two full stripes of light, closer to a letterbox or a cinema title card.
Widen the afterglow
Spread is a narrow 34, so the light falls off quickly. Raising it to 60 or more lets the warm color reach further into the frame; balance that by trimming Glow from 65 if text in the middle starts to lose contrast.
FAQ
What is the difference between Solar horizon and Solar edge?
Orientation and texture. Solar edge tilts its bands to 200 degrees so they light the left and right sides, with heavy waviness and a touch of extra grain. Solar horizon sets Angle to 90 for top and bottom light, keeps Curvature at a calmer 30 and uses more Complexity, 5 against 3, for finer lines in the glow.
How it works
Pick a field and a curve
Choose one of 5 fields and 4 curves, or start from one of 17 looks such as Prismatic ribbon or Iridescent halo.
Tune the light
Adjust scale, bend, spread, detail, angle, glow, grain and speed.
