Including

Smoke Generation

Generate a wall of smoke, steam, gas, or other clouds to accentuate your scenes' backgrounds and foregrounds. Customize the color, blend modes, and scale to produce a wide array of textured effects for your scenes.

Radial Speed Lines

Create a ring of speed lines around your scene or character to highlight or dramatize what's going on in an anime style. Pick the colors to alternate from, adjust the thickness and cut-off length for a wide variety of effects.

Wave Flows

Make your characters, props, UI, or anything else crackle and pop with flowing waves of power. Adjust height, color, wave count, and frequency to produce a range of effects! Reflections of light off water? Waves of energy coursing through a wizard? The glow of enchantments on a sword? Easy to do.

Auras and Outlines

Add moving, magical auras or glowy outlines to your characters and props. Choose from smooth color blends, flowing direction, and dynamic animation styles to match divine, cursed, or powered-up vibes.

Energy Mist & Radial Warps

Project light and energy toward or away from characters and objects — or hurl them into the void between realities. Use this to create bursts of power, rips in time, or light tunnel warps with minimal effort.

Impact Frame Effect

Give your high-intensity moments an unmistakable visual punch. The Impact Frame effect mimics anime-style extremes when a punch lands, a bomb explodes, or emotions hit their peak. Fully customizable colors and intensity help this effect land hard.

Use these effects by applying transforms to your displayables.

Flow — Completely replaces the displayable with a flowy visual. Great for combining with add or multiply blend modes.

Overflow — Overlays the wave effect on top of the displayable, letting your props, characters, and scenes crackle with energy.

MappedFlow & MaskedFlow — Use masks to sculpt where the effect shows.
at MaskedFlow("images/mask.png") lets you inline specify, while MappedFlow is preset in the transform.

FlowDemo — Throw it on something and watch the magic.

CreateSmoke(color, mode, speed, scale) — Replaces the displayable entirely. Best for full-screen effects.
Example:
at CreateSmoke(color=(0.2, 0.0, 0.2, 0.8), mode="normal", speed=0.05, scale=4.0)
Tip: Layer multiple smoke effects for complex visuals.

RadialSpeedLines(color, alt, density, thickness, cutoff) — Also replaces the displayable.
Example:
at RadialSpeedLines(color=(1,1,1,0.5), alt=(0,0,0,0.5), density=5.0, thickness=0.2, cutoff=0.2)

Blazing — Fire-like effect surrounding a displayable. Use left, up, etc. to expand bounds. Customize with glowcolor and endcolor.

Gloom — A dark cousin of Blazing. Same rules apply, but spookier.

Emist — A static, magical effect that radiates waving tendrils of light from the center.

Radial — Warps and replicates the target displayable outward in a radial burst. Good for trippy visuals or stylized explosions.

Impact — Creates a sharp, dramatic contrast effect (a la anime impact frames).
Example:
camera at Impact(intensity=0.8, light=(1,1,1,1), dark=(0.01,0.01,0.01,1), duration=0.092, fade=0.023)

Deluxe — An upgraded version of the Manga Shader from the Ren'Py Shader Pack. This is the enhanced variant used for the Impact Frame effect.

These are the two included files and what they do:

MVNActionFXTemplates.rpy — Contains all of the transforms. Use them out of the box or copy/paste to create custom effects!
MVNASP.rpy — Where the background shader code lives. If you want to poke under the hood, this is your file.

Now hold on right there...

This asset is unfree. That's right. We took something you would've gotten for free and made you pay for it.

We do bad and awesome things. Like engage with capitalism and listen to very, very loud edgy music. Why? Because we're bad dudes, dudettes, and dudenbies. Yeah, that's right, we're inclusive. We might be bad, but we're not monsters.

Once we raise the $500.00 we need, we'll make this asset free for everyone and include a few special extra effects in this pack.
