1. Colour Effect

Places a Colour Blending effect on the character. There are 5 effects, the first being normal and not demonstrated in the image below.

2. Degree of colour effect

Increases or decreases the potency of the effect as per the image above.

3. Character Opacity

Fades the Character through transparency.

4. Drop Shadow effect and colour

Applies a Drop shadow effect to the character. Has a total of 10 Drop shadow effects, which extend the effect as per Tag 9, but add blur and transparency as they go.

5. Switch from Drop Shadow to shade

Toggles from Drop Shadow to Character Shader.

6 & 7. Remove Character

Both do something similar, but can’t be toggled on at the same time. They remove the character but leave the drop shadow/shader effect behind. 6 removes the character, and leaves just the outside (the visible part when a character is still present) of the drop shadow, where 7 displays the whole drop shadow.

From the right: Drop shadow effect; Switched from Drop shadow to shade (as seen on the characters body); Removed Character with only the drop shadow left behind, and; Whole drop shadow displayed.

8. Drop Shadow opacity

Increases or decreases the drop shadow / shader transparency.

9. Drop shadow attenuation

Increases or decreases the current drop shadow / shader effect.

10 & 11. Drop Shadow Length and Width

Increases the overall drop shadow / shader that is not specific to the effect. More shadow / shade overall, not just an increase to the current effect. 10 is the horizontal and 11 is the vertical. Each can be manipulated individualy by clicking on the link between the two.
