Reward Popup

HOW IT'S MADE

Reward Popup stacks 13 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: sprite modules, particles that form text, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 2.8 s, and 4 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.59 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Ring" 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.
