Ink brush slash

Sumi-e brush slash: an ink stroke is painted across a red sun in a blink, a white cut line opens through it and ink spatters.

Ink brush slash is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.3 seconds, drawn on a 320 by 320 canvas. It is built from 8 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 39 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Change the colours, timing or size, or export for Unity, Godot 4, GameMaker, Phaser, PixiJS and Aseprite.

DETAILS

Phaser, PixiJS: Take the PNG sheet: it comes with a TexturePacker JSON atlas that both load directly.
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: it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat: The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
