CRT effect

Applies a CRT effect, simulating an old cathode-ray tube television. It's useful to give a retro look to a whole scene (apply it to a layer) or to a single screen object like an in-game monitor.

To get the look you want, the main settings to adjust are the Curvature (how much the image bulges like a rounded screen), the Line width and Line contrast (visibility of the scanlines), the Noise (static grain), and the Vignetting (darkening around the edges).

The effect can also animate on its own: Interlaced lines speed controls how fast the scanlines scroll (set it to 0 to keep them still) and Noise frequency sets how often the static is refreshed.
