HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Rock Spike Eruption stacks 31 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, collisions, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 1.4 s, and 30 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.94 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Spike Glow 5" 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
