Anime Energy Disc

A spinning energy disc projectile for anime battlegrounds games, seen in 3/4: a flat magenta disc with a hot core and bright rim, comets whipping round the edge and sparks flung off. Seamless loop.

Anime Energy Disc is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 0.5 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 5 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Energy Disc is a compact effect made from 5 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: ribbon trails, paths, particles stretched along their motion and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 0.5 s, and one layer fires in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Disc Body" 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.

Layers, in draw order

  3. Rim Ringparticles / additiveA steady stream of image sprites. Colour runs from white to magenta over each life.
  4. Rim Runnersparticles / additiveOne burst of 5 ribbon trails at the start. They travel along a path. Colour runs from white to pale magenta over each life.
  5. Flung Sparksparticles / additiveA steady stream of streaks from a ring. They slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to magenta over each life.
