A Confetti Effect

“Thx for everyone that reads this post”
“Any effect I talk about is in the final of the post, btw sorry if this isn’t the right topic I got kinda confused”

I’m working on an obby game, and for the past 2 weeks I’ve been struggling with a simple confetti VFX like in Easy Obby.

The actual problem is that I wanna make an animated VFX like this: https://youtu.be/d51eFqSvMHM?si=pEUz2H7wkiCg_XNk

My questions may be simple and look dumb but I would really apreciate your help:

  • Where should I make the animated frames? Photoshop? After Effects? Illustrator?

  • For this kind of effect (Easy Obby confetti effect) Do I really need to make like 6 particle emitters and then emit then with different confetti colors? Cuz If I dont they look less realistic, what I mean by that is that if I emit one Image with a bunch of confetties in it they would be estatic (each confetti), is there a better way of doing this? How would u do it?

  • Any good videos on how to make animated textures? All the path, from creating a somewhat complex animation to compressing into a sprite sheet and then using it in studio. Or maybe a non related Roblox Studio video that shows how to make custom VFX and export it to whatever engine we might want to?

The first would be possible with a single particle emitter, you can adjust the colours of the particle emitter. It should be the left … button beside colour. You can also manipulate the speed of the particles to be fast initially and much slower later on. Then turn off visibility of it when you reach a certain timing, as well as adjusting the lifetime to fit to your goal.

The second is just TweenService where they just adjusted the size after cloning a block, they probably used a module script for that. I think you’re just overcomplicating things for yourself.

I’m not going to explain how you’d do it step by step because it’s considered quite basic, but once you get what I’m saying, it’ll be easy for you to replicate.

“Thx for replying it really helped”
