HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Black and White Aura gets its crackle from 2 lightning bolts (a new jagged path on every strike), backed by 6 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: magnets, particles stretched along their motion and post filters (outline and bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 1.2 s, and one layer fires in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Body Halo" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Body Haloparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows. Colours range between white and pale blue.
  2. Black Flames, Black Core FlamesparticlesA steady stream of flames from a disc. They are pulled toward a magnet, float upward, sway from side to side and swell and then shrink away. Colour: white.
