FX creator

The Cartoon FX Creator is an editor window for building new effects out of the same modular layers the shipped effects use. It replaces hand-wiring particle systems with a single inspector, a live preview and a preset library.

Opening the window

The creator lives under Window → laplahce → Cartoon FX Creator.

Layers

An effect is a stack of layers. Each layer is one visual element with its own timing curve:

• Burst — radial particle spray with configurable count and spread.
• Ring — expanding shockwave sprite.
• Trail — ribbon that follows a motion path.
• Sprite pop — a single scaling sprite, used for comic text and flashes.
• Light — optional flash light, skipped automatically on mobile presets.

Layers can be reordered, muted and soloed while the preview loops.

Live preview

The preview viewport scrubs the whole effect timeline and can be slowed down to quarter speed to check the shape of individual frames.

Saving and reuse

Saving writes two assets: a prefab you can spawn like any built-in effect, and a preset asset that keeps the editable layer stack so the effect can be reopened and modified later.
