Solar Flare — Plasma Arcs Erupting From the Surface
A turbulent star surface generates looping magnetic flux-tube arcs that erupt, hold, and fade in cycles, echoing real coronal loops seen on the Sun. Surface vertices are displaced by layered sine-based noise, and particles stream along each arc's Bezier curve to visualize ejected plasma.
- Icosahedron surface with per-vertex procedural turbulence and heat coloring
- Up to 6 simultaneous quadratic-Bezier plasma arcs with fade in/out lifecycle
- 800 additive ejecta particles tracing arc curves for coronal mass ejection look
- Triple-layer additive corona shells simulate atmospheric glow
