HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Triple Slash stacks 6 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (outline).

It loops seamlessly every 0.9 s, and 6 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.14 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Cross Glint" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. 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. Cut ShadowparticlesA single particle every 0.06 s. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour runs from white to pink over each life.
  2. Cut BodyparticlesA single particle every 0.06 s. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour runs from white to red over each life.
  3. Cut EdgeparticlesA single particle every 0.06 s. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour: white.
  4. Cut SparksparticlesBursts of 9 shards along a line every 0.06 s. They shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to pale red over each life.
  5. Petal MotesparticlesOne burst of 7 sparks across a box at 0.14 s. They swell and then shrink away, spin and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to pale red over each life.
  6. Cross GlintparticlesA single particle at 0.13 s. It swells and then shrinks away. It spins. Colour runs from white to pale red over each life.
