The Sparkle is the four-point twinkle star: tips joined by inward-curving sides, so it looks like a glint of light rather than a pointed star. It is extruded into a solid with a thin bevel.

Shape settings

  • Points (3 to 12) sets how many tips it has. Four is the classic twinkle; six or eight give a flower-like burst.
  • Outer sets how far the tips reach.
  • Pinch (0.02 to 0.4) sets how far the curved sides bend toward the centre: low values make thin, needle-like rays, high values a fuller, rounder star.
  • Curve detail sets how smooth the curves are.

Display modes and materials

Solid shows the shape; an emissive colour with bloom makes it glow. Profile draws the outline only, and the point modes turn it into a cloud of glittering particles. Any material goes on it, from gold to diamond crystal. The Magic Sparkles cursor carries the same theme.

Use it for

  • Magic, shine and "new" highlights
  • AI and smart-feature icons
  • Beauty, jewellery and festive scenes
