Cash Pop

HOW IT'S MADE

Cash Pop stacks 7 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 0.9 s, and 7 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.07 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Flash" 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. Flashparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.04 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale green.
2. Green Starburstparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.04 s. It grows as it ages. Colour runs from white to green over each life.
3. Ringstroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a circle.
4. Raysparticles / additiveOne burst of 12 streaks from a ring at 0.04 s. They ease to a stop. Colour runs from white to green over each life.
5. BanknotesparticlesOne burst of 10 rings from a disc at 0.04 s. They fall under gravity, grow as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour: white.
6. CoinsparticlesOne burst of 6 coins and gems from a disc at 0.04 s. They fall under gravity, grow as they age and slow down with drag. Colour: white.
7. Sparklesparticles / additiveOne burst of 14 stars from a disc at 0.07 s. They swell and then shrink away and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and pale green.
8. Motesparticles / additiveOne burst of 18 soft glows from a disc at 0.06 s. They float upward, shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and green.
