Anime Charging Rush

A charging rush for anime battlegrounds and fighting games: a crimson energy shell with a crescent bow shock that keeps re-forming in front, streams and wind lines peeling back and sparks shedding behind. Seamless loop for the length of the rush.

Anime Charging Rush is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 0.6 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 8 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Charging Rush stacks 8 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: particles stretched along their motion and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 0.6 s, and 2 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Energy Shell" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.
