Editing the Code Parameters
-Line 9: #define RADIANT_TYPE: Determines what texture file the effect will call for the shining circle. By default, it is set to 1 (放射1.png).
-Line 26: #define PARTICLE_TYPE: Determines what texture file the effect will call for the shape creation. By default, it is set to 1 (星.png)
-Lines 46~48: Determines the conditional settings for the shining circle produced by the effect. It is possible to modify this effect to use a custom shining circle by copy-pasting this block of code and modifying it to your desired effect.
-Lines 60~65: Determines the conditional settings for certain shapes produced by the effect. It is possible to modify this effect to use a custom shape by copy-pasting this block of code and modifying it to your desired effect.
Tips
-While the effect is meant for animations, you can use this effect for a still-image render by selecting your desired frame from in between the set starting and ending frames. eg: If the effect runs from frame 0~100, you can render frame 90 to capture a still-image of the 'peak' of the effect.
-The effect will always face the camera, regardless of what the camera angle and distance are.
