• Use transparent export for game-ready effects.
• Best explosion starting point: 16 frames, 128 size, 4 columns.
• Use Edge Fade Distance to make particles fade out before reaching the sprite boundary.
• For realistic explosions, raise Smoke Amount, Turbulence, and Shockwave together.
• Best magic burst starting point: 20 frames, 192 size, 5 columns.
• For sustained fire, raise Flame Height, Ember Amount, and Afterglow.
• Safe Frame Overlay shows the main safe area and the fade zone in the live preview.
• Use the new Splintering Wood preset for wooden impacts, cracked boards, and flying debris.
• New Stone Debris and Glass Shatter presets add chunkier fragments and sharper shards.
• Export Frames ZIP saves every sprite cell as its own individual PNG image.
• New Derezzing preset creates a TRON-style digital breakup with square pixel blocks that drop and disappear.
• New Magic Rings preset creates glowing fly-through rings like level markers or checkpoint hoops.
• New Derezzing Bounce preset makes digital blocks hit the ground, bounce, then disappear.
