The particles show as two paper shapes, a square and a strip, from the
Confetti Shapes collection. Their material, Confetti Paper, reads each
particle's colour (an Attribute node set to Instancer, vf_color), so
every piece gets the particle's colour: a mid grey with a wide
Variation gives many colours. Pieces turn at random as they
fall (Spin), slowed by drag and blown about by turbulence.
Try these first
- Speed: how high the burst goes.
- Colour and Variation: a colour and 0.1 for one shade; 0.5 for party colours.
- Strength: more and the pieces flutter and scatter.
Make it yours
- Your own pieces. Add objects to the Confetti Shapes collection
(stars, hearts, your logo), with Confetti Paper or any material reading
vf_colorthe same way. - One burst. For a cannon shot, a flow's Birth can give all its particles at once: Convert to Flow, then set Edit FlowParticlesBirthMode.
- Size. Scale and its Variation.
