Particles are fun, they allow us to simulate various kinds of visual effects that greatly enhance the viewing experience, be it fire, fog, magic, or just a gigantic explosion.
In this chapter, you will learn about:
Particles and what they are
How to use a particle editor in Unity
How to create your own custom particle for the level
The general rule of thumb when working with particles is figuring out what you want to create and then go, step by step, configuring a single parameter at a time. Try different things, experiment, and you will be surprised at the results you can achieve with a few textures and a well-tuned particle system alone.
