Cherry Blossom Petals

Cherry blossom petals drift on a spring breeze, twisting as they fall over soft pink bokeh. A seamless sakura overlay that tiles in every direction and loops perfectly, for title screens, spring events and Japanese themed levels.

Cherry Blossom Petals is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 6 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 3 particle emitters.

HOW IT'S MADE

Cherry Blossom Petals is a compact effect made from 3 particle emitters. One technique stands out: post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 6 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Bokeh" 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.
