Low Poly Triangle Background: An animated low poly background for menus, splash screens and streams: a drifting mesh whose triangles fill with the colours of their corners, so the facets shade from teal to blue and morph as it moves, with a few glinting nodes.

Low Poly Triangle Background

An animated low poly background for menus, splash screens and streams: a drifting mesh whose triangles fill with the colours of their corners, so the facets shade from teal to blue and morph as it moves, with a few glinting nodes. Seamless loop.

Low Poly Triangle Background is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 8 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 3 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Low Poly Triangle Background is a compact effect made from 3 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: lines that connect nearby particles, Plexus style and post filters (bloom and vignette).

Every layer emits continuously and the 8 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Glint Nodes" 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. Back Facetsparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows across a box. They are joined to their nearest neighbours by lines. Colours range between deep cyan and deep blue.
  2. Meshparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows across a box. They are joined to their nearest neighbours by lines and sway from side to side. Colours range between teal and blue.
  3. Glint Nodesparticles / additiveA steady stream of stars across a box. They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between pale cyan and white.

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.
