Congratulations Confetti Burst

HOW IT'S MADE

Congratulations Confetti Burst stacks 21 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: ribbon trails, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 2.6 s, and 20 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.52 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Sunburst" 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.

Layers, in draw order

1. Sunburstparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.03 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: gold.
2. Light Raysparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.03 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale gold.
3. Warm Glowparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.03 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: orange.
4. Flashparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.03 s. It grows as it ages. Colours range between white and pale gold.
5. Gold Ringparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.03 s. It grows as it ages. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
6. Firework Flash Lparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.34 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale pink.
7. Firework Lparticles / additiveOne burst of 46 streaks from a disc at 0.34 s. They fall under gravity and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to pink over each life.
8. Firework Flash Rparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.52 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: white.
9. Firework Rparticles / additiveOne burst of 46 streaks from a disc at 0.52 s. They fall under gravity and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to cyan over each life.
10. Gold Glitterparticles / additiveOne burst of 70 stars from a disc at 0.03 s. They fall under gravity, swell and then shrink away and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
