Tips for particle fire, smoke and water

Spreads

Both off-axis and off-pane 10-20

Spin time [rotation]

Make the spin time 30-100 fames so the facing particles spin a lot ... this will work against the reality that each particle is actually the same, and the effects of the noise shape will appear different.

Life and variation

Spin up and down to see results

Particle Size and variation

Don’t be afraid to get large particles so there is a lot of overlap

Fade and grow

Spin up and down fade and grow to see the effect ... this is responsible for those very small round particles that can sometimes be annoying
