A red perspective grid scrolls toward the viewer under a dark sky with a deep red glow at the horizon. A striped sun that fades from warm orange to red rises from behind the horizon, while a back range of mountains slides in from the left and a front range outlined in red slides in from the right. Everything is in place after a little over a second, and the grid and sun stripes keep moving for the rest of the four seconds.

You can change the grid speed, the horizon height, whether the sun stripes scroll, and the grid, sun and horizon colors, plus playback speed and the background around the scene. Use it as a retro music background, a gaming or streaming intro, an 80s-themed promo or a backdrop behind a title.
