A word to define “semi-transparent waving” effect?












0















I'm usually working with animations and also usually I find hard to define or put words on some things.



What would be the correct term to define this (pretty used) effect which is kind of semi-transparent waving? I attach here an image of League of Legends client, this is the game that uses it more by far, everything is surrounded by this effect on the game.



lol client

    Is there a facility or tool for creating this effect within the design software? If there is it will, presumably have a name. I'm thinking of parallels with graphic and photo-editing effects like 'grain', 'drop-out', 'texture fill' and so on. If you can find the name of the facility or tool within the software you have the name of the effect produced.

  • No, as far as I know there's no specific tool for this, that would have been a good solution..

  • There must be some way to create the effect, even if it's a specific use of a standard tool. You could use a modification of the name of that tool, someting like "transparent beziers".
