HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Giant Energy Sphere stacks 8 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: a vortex, magnets, ribbon trails, flipbook sprites and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 3 s, and one layer fires in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Haze" 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. Hazeparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows. Colour: orange.
  2. Light Streamsparticles / additiveA steady stream of ribbon trails from a ring. They swirl around a vortex and are swallowed by a magnet at its centre. Colour runs from pale gold to white over each life.
  3. Rising Motesparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows across a box. They are swallowed by a magnet at its centre and grow as they age. Colours range between white and gold.
  4. Orbparticles / additiveA single long-lived particle that stays for the whole loop.
  5. Coreparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows. Colours range between white and pale gold.
  6. Rim Ringparticles / additiveA single particle every 0.75 s. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
  7. Swirl Haloparticles / additiveA steady stream of rings. They spin. Colours range between gold and orange.
  8. Surface Glintsparticles / additiveA steady stream of stars from a disc. They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between white and pale gold.
