Spotlight Beam

Seamless spotlight beam texture: an even, faint cool-white body with a brighter middle, soft streaks and dust drifting through it. Repeats along a Roblox Beam (Export, Roblox, Beam) for searchlights, stage lights, flashlights and window light.

Spotlight Beam is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 4 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 128 canvas. It is built from 4 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 120 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Licence: use it in any project, including paid commercial games such as a game sold on Steam. There is no per-project licence to buy and no credit needed. Terms.

Roblox: the download is a seamless texture for a Beam. Set TextureMode to Wrap and TextureLength to 4 times the Width; TextureSpeed scrolls it from Attachment0 to Attachment1. Roblox setup.

HOW IT'S MADE

Spotlight Beam is a compact effect made from 4 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: turbulence and post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 4 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Light Body" 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

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.
