Circuit Beam

Seamless circuit beam texture: green circuit traces run along the beam with 45 degree jogs and round pads while bright pulses travel up them. A square that runs bottom to top and repeats along a Roblox Beam (Export, Roblox, Beam) for data links, hacking rays and cyber tethers.

Circuit Beam is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 9 particle emitters and 11 glowing strokes. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 60 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Licence: use it in any project, including paid commercial games such as a game sold on Steam. There is no per-project licence to buy and no credit needed. Terms.

Roblox: the download is a square, seamless texture for a Beam that runs bottom to top, its bottom edge at Attachment0. Set TextureMode to Wrap and TextureLength to the Width; TextureSpeed scrolls it from Attachment0 to Attachment1. Roblox setup.

FRAME BY FRAME

8 evenly spaced moments across the 2 s loop.

HOW IT'S MADE

Circuit Beam is drawn with 11 glowing strokes, lines with a hot core and a soft glow traced along their shapes, plus 9 particle emitters. One technique stands out: 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 recolour the line, select "Trace 1" and change Core and Glow; Start and End set how much of it is drawn.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Soft Glowparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows across a box. Colour: deep green.
  2. Trace 1, Trace 2, Trace 3 +4stroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a path.
  3. Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Pulse 3 +1stroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a path. A lit stretch of it travels round the shape.
  4. Pad 1, Pad 2, Pad 3 +5particles / additiveA single long-lived particle that stays for the whole loop.

USING IT IN YOUR GAME

Phaser, PixiJS
The PNG sheet is a plain grid of frames that both can slice. A TexturePacker JSON atlas comes with a plan, from the studio.
Unity
Import the PNG sheet as a Sprite with Mode set to Multiple and slice it, or open the effect in the studio for a ready-made grid.
Godot 4, GameMaker, Aseprite
Open it in the studio and pick your engine in Export: with a plan, it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
Blend mode
This effect is made of light. For the same glow in your game, draw the sprite with additive blending, or export it on black from the studio for additive shaders.

Step by step: Unity, Godot 4, Roblox, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime). Drawn with additive blending: see glow effects without a black box.
