HOW IT'S MADE

Dollar Bill Burst stacks 8 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, sprite modules, sub-emitters set off by other particles, collisions and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 1.8 s, and 7 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.38 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Burst Flash" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.
