x2 Multiplier Pop

HOW IT'S MADE

X2 Multiplier Pop stacks 8 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, styled text animated letter by letter, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom and chromatic aberration).

It loops seamlessly every 1.7 s, and 7 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 1.59 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Flash" 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. Focus Linesparticles / additiveBursts of 26 streaks from a ring every 0.05 s. Colours range between white and orange.
2. Sunburst Raysparticles / additiveOne burst of 12 streaks at 0.1 s. They swell and then shrink away. Colour: orange.
3. Flashparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.1 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale gold.
4. Starburstparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.1 s. It grows as it ages. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
5. Ringstroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a circle.
6. Radial Streaksparticles / additiveOne burst of 22 streaks from a ring at 0.1 s. They ease to a stop. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
7. x2textThe words "x2" in Luckiest Guy.
8. Sparksparticles / additiveOne burst of 24 soft glows from a disc at 0.12 s. They fall under gravity, shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and orange.
9. Glitterparticles / additiveA stream of stars across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between white and gold.
10. Out Poofparticles / additiveOne burst of 18 soft glows from a disc at 1.59 s. They shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and gold.
