HOW IT'S MADE

Paint Brush Wipe stacks 12 particle emitters, each with its own job. One technique stands out: keyframed parameters.

Every layer emits continuously and the 2.4 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Brush stroke" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Brush stroke, Brush stroke, Brush stroke +3particlesA stream of image sprites, its rate keyframed over the loop. Colour: deep violet.
  2. Brush flecks, Brush flecks, Brush flecks +3particlesA stream of dots along a line, its rate keyframed over the loop. They fall under gravity, shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colours range between black and deep violet.
