particles

Nearly imperceptibly small objects generally seen falling, floating, or suspended in the air and made more visible by reflecting or emitting light. These small details enhance atmosphere, space, and immersion. This tag is meant to highlight when many particles are shown individually rather than as big, coalesced clumps of material or simple, rough gradients.

  • sparkles - a common cross- or diamond-shaped visual cue indicating reflected or bright light from a highly localized point
  • splash / splashing
  • wave
Do not confuse with:
  • confetti - usually too large to be particles
  • fog - water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, usually too small to be shown as particles
  • glitter - large glistening surfaces are not particles, but airborne glitter may be
  • grainy - a rough, textured look applied to an entire post
  • star - large objects seen from far away are not particles
