Anime Aura Flare

An aura flare for anime battlegrounds and fighting games: on activation an impact frame and flash, a burst of violet flames blasting upward, ground shock rings and blown dust, then the flames settle and clear. Plays once.

Anime Aura Flare is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 9 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Aura Flare stacks 9 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: magnets, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom and impact frames).

It loops seamlessly every 1 s, and 6 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.15 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Flare Flames" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Unity
Import the PNG sheet as a Sprite with Mode set to Multiple and slice it, or open the effect in the studio for a ready-made grid.
Godot 4, GameMaker, Aseprite
Open it in the studio and pick your engine in Export: with a plan, it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
