Twenty-three scenes chained with transition="match". Three match-key chains run through the reel and EVERY hop of each chain opts into the particle morph via morph="particles": the outgoing element dissolves into a seeded additive swarm that flies curved bézier paths and converges into its matched counterpart while the counterpart fades in (source fades out over the first ~35% of the gap, the swarm alone carries the middle, the target forms over the last ~35%). hero — the large centre element (text / image / device / emoji), scenes 1→23 flux — a secondary element orbiting the upper corners, scenes 4→23 spark — a small accent (shape / text / image) in the lower corners, scenes 4→23 Scenes 1-3 are the original minimal tour (text → image → device, single chain, non-matched twenty-scene gauntlet: every scene carries a UNIQUE trio of elements (texts, placeholder images, ipad/laptop/chrome/iphone rigs, emoji, rects, circles) and all three morph simultaneously in every gap. The background haze sprites (match keys mh-haze-a/b) colour/pose-morph the classic way in the same gaps — proving classic pairs and particle pairs coexist. Param showcases along the way: mm15 morph-color (flat tint), mm17 morph-count="12000", mm19 morph-spread="2.2", mm21 morph-size + normal blending, mm22 morph-stagger="0.7". morph-seed pins a swarm layout (defaults derive from the match key). Longer transition_duration (1.2s vs the usual 0.65-0.85) gives the flights room to read.

Particle Morph — match-move pairs that dissolve into a particle swarm.
Twenty-three scenes chained with transition="match". Three match-key chains
run through the reel and EVERY hop of each chain opts into the particle morph
via morph="particles": the outgoing element dissolves into a seeded additive
swarm that flies curved bézier paths and converges into its matched
counterpart while the counterpart fades in (source fades out over the first
~35% of the gap, the swarm alone carries the middle, the target forms over
the last ~35%).
hero — the large centre element (text / image / device / emoji), scenes 1→23
flux — a secondary element orbiting the upper corners, scenes 4→23
spark — a small accent (shape / text / image) in the lower corners, scenes 4→23
Scenes 1-3 are the original minimal tour (text → image → device, single
chain, non-matched
twenty-scene gauntlet: every scene carries a UNIQUE trio of elements (texts,
placeholder images, ipad/laptop/chrome/iphone rigs, emoji, rects, circles)
and all three morph simultaneously in every gap. The background haze sprites
(match keys mh-haze-a/b) colour/pose-morph the classic way in the same gaps —
proving classic pairs and particle pairs coexist.
Param showcases along the way: mm15 morph-color (flat tint), mm17
morph-count="12000", mm19 morph-spread="2.2", mm21 morph-size + normal
blending, mm22 morph-stagger="0.7". morph-seed pins a swarm layout (defaults
derive from the match key).
Longer transition_duration (1.2s vs the usual 0.65-0.85) gives the flights
room to read.
