Shuriken Easy Editor (also named “Cartoon FX Easy Editor” as part of my Cartoon FX brand)
has been released as a standalone product!

It allows you to easily change several properties of one or multiple selected Particle Systems (optionally including children).

FEATURES

  • Scale any system; the editor will scale all the according values for you (sizes, gravity, speed, velocity, limit velocity, and creation of a new scaled mesh if it is used as emission); no more hassle of changing all the values manually!

  • Change Start Color of any number of Particle Systems at once; useful to tint complex systems with one click only!

  • Change Duration of any system(s) as a percentage of the original duration: the ultimate tool if you need shorter or longer effects without the hassle of changing all the lifetime values accordingly! Works well with children systems too!

  • Set Looping On or Off for several Particle Systems at once (again, useful for complex loopable systems)

  • Copy Modules from any Particle System to any other(s)! A very powerful feature if you work a lot with Particle Systems.
    Like the movement pattern of a particular system? With this powerful tool, you can easily copy all its velocity properties to any other system(s)!
    Want to change the appearance only? Select the Color over Lifetime, Color by Speed, Texture Animation and Renderer modules and voilà, you can paste the appearance to any other systems!

Asset Store Link

Please note that the editor is also included in Cartoon FX Pack, so it might be a good alternative if you also need quality toon effects!

Don’t know if I’ll have time to cook up a video, bu I might give a try at some screenshots describing the effect. But right now I’m focusing on my other packs (toon particle effects) in which the editor script is actually included!

Updated the editor with the ability to tint the colors of your Particle Systems, including gradients, while preserving their saturation and lightness!

The update has been submitted and should be released soon on the Asset Store!
