Step 5

On the variations tab for triangle 2, do the following: Linear:0 and Rings2:1 Now go to the Variables tab and change rings2_val to -1

You should now have this

Step 7

Now change the colour to what ever you wish and then zoom in to: 1.515

This is the basic Julian rings! To learn how to give it more of an effect, read below!

A fuller look

Go back to transform 1 (the red triangle) and add in: Sinusoidal:0.005

Crazy/Messy look

To give the Julian rings a messy look, go to transform 2 and click on the triangle tab, then click 2 times on the right arrow and then once on the rotate triangle counter clockwise

Tunnel effect

To get a tunnel effect, on transform 2, go to the variables tab and change ring2_val from -1 to 0. Now go to the triangle tab and click 4 times on the left arrow
