Screen Effect
SineVFX turns a Screen Effect into a first-class, view-wide effect - shake, FOV punch, and blur - graphed and previewable exactly like any particle effect.
Formerly the "Camera Effect"
This used to transform workspace.Camera directly, but Roblox never serializes the Camera, so the effect vanished on save/reopen. It now lives on a Configuration instead, which persists cleanly. The URL stays /camera; the effect is the same shake / FOV / blur.
Transforming a Screen Effect
Insert a Configuration (Model > Advanced, or any Configuration instance), select it, and run Transform. SineVFX tags it and adds a Properties folder in place - no new parts, just like transforming a Beam or Trail. It becomes a global effect: there's no position in the world and no particle count - it's a single effect that acts on the view.
It's not a singleton: transform as many Screen Effects as you like and the runtime sums their contributions.
The three sub-effects
Shake
A self-contained noise-based camera shake. Its channels are all graphs sampled over each play:
| Channel | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Strength | Overall shake amount. |
| Frequency | How fast the shake oscillates. |
| Position | Positional shake contribution. |
| Rotation | Rotational shake contribution. |
| Smoothness | 0 = raw, choppy white-noise shake · 1 = heavily low-passed and smooth. |
FOV
A field-of-view punch, driven by a graph (FOVOffset). SineVFX can push FOV beyond Roblox's hard 120° cap by spilling the excess into a camera distortion trick, so you get dramatic wide-angle punches that Roblox alone won't allow.
Blur
A BlurEffect on Lighting, with its BlurSize driven by a graph. It ramps in and auto-clears when the effect disables.
Play model
The camera effect uses the same emit / enable / disable verbs as everything else, plus an emission model for how it repeats:
- Emit - one play, over the effect's duration.
- Enable with Rate 0 - ramps to the graph's end and holds until you disable (short release fade on disable).
- Enable with Rate > 0 - pulses a play every
1 / Rateseconds.
Rate is read live, so changing it while the effect is enabled switches instantly between hold and pulse. The Emit window's duration controls how long the effect stays enabled over a repeat cycle.
Previewing
Transformed Screen Effects show up in the Emit window - Emit and Enable drive the shake / FOV / blur just like a particle effect, live in edit mode. The camera writes ride your normal navigation and zoom, so you can keep flying the viewport while it shakes.
Shipping it
The camera effect ships in the runtime module like everything else - re-plant the module after editing so the generated code includes your camera driver. At runtime the effect acts on whatever camera it's told to (typically the local player's CurrentCamera).
TIP
Because it's a real transformed instance, everything you know about graphs and envelopes applies here - shape the Strength curve for a sharp initial jolt that settles, and keep Smoothness up for a cinematic feel.
