Anime Petal Blade Storm

A petal blade storm for anime battlegrounds and sword games: pink petals whirl around the target on swirling wind while thin white slash arcs and glints pop inside the storm. Seamless loop.

Anime Petal Blade Storm is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 6 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Petal Blade Storm stacks 6 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: a vortex, ribbon trails and post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 2 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Pink Haze" 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.
