By choosing more intuitive and user-friendly parameter names, Builder artists can quickly identify key parameters in an effect and adjust accordingly.

Users can now create their own names for any parameter inside any Sapphire effect. The 2023.5 update to Sapphire introduces a highly-requested feature: the ability to customize effect parameter names in Builder. Users can also star frequently used effects and add them to the new Favorites category, making them easily accessible. Simply add effects directly into the node graph with just a few clicks rather than navigating Sapphire’s expansive list of effects. The new Quick Access feature provides users with a fast option to find and add effects to Builder. This makes it easier to create advanced animations and effects without having to manually adjust multiple parameters! Quick Access and Favorites Parameter linking gives users control over an entire effect’s animation with a single slider. Users can set a “driver” parameter and then link other parameters to it, including adding offsets and multipliers. The new parameter linking feature in S_Effect and S_Transition allows editors and artists to create dynamic and complex effects by connecting parameters and values across different Sapphire effects.
