Anime Glowing Eye Trail

A glowing eye trail for anime battlegrounds characters and bosses: a red eye glint with a lens streak sweeps a figure-eight, trailed by a long tapering ribbon of light and drifting embers. Seamless loop.

Anime Glowing Eye Trail is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.6 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 Glowing Eye Trail draws its motion with ribbons: 2 of its 5 particle emitters leave a trail through their recent positions. Techniques worth a look: paths and post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 1.6 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Lens Streak" 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

  1. Light Ribbon, Ribbon Coreparticles / additiveA single long-lived particle that stays for the whole loop. It travels along a path.
  2. Eye Glintparticles / additiveA steady stream of stars. The emitter itself travels along a path. Colours range between white and pale red.
  3. Lens Streakparticles / additiveA steady stream of image sprites. The emitter itself travels along a path. Colour: red.
  4. Shed Embersparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows. The emitter itself travels along a path. They shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to red over each life.
