Color & Size Over Lifetime

• Apply a gradient to change particle color over time
• Use animation curves to control size changes
• Simulate natural fading, shrinking, or glowing effects
• Works across all emission types (looping, burst, etc.)

Lights & Custom Data

• Emit real-time lights from particles
• Control light ratio and intensity per particle
• Enable Custom Data module to pass extra data
• Use SetColor/SetVector in shaders or VFX graphs

Collision & Trigger

• Enable particle-world collision detection
• Customize bounce, dampening, and lifetime loss
• Use Trigger module to detect entry/exit with colliders
• Common for splash, sparks, fire trails, and AoE effects

Renderer Module

• Select mesh or billboard for particle shape
• Assign trail and main materials separately
• Control render alignment and sorting layer
• Change blending and render modes (e.g. Fade, Additive)

Texture Sheet Animation

• Animate particles using sprite sheets
• Set number of tiles in X and Y axes
• Control frame progression and cycle modes
• Perfect for flames, magic, explosions, or UI effects

Sub Emitters

• Spawn new particle systems at key events
• Trigger on birth, collision, or death of a particle
• Used for chaining complex effects (e.g., sparks after explosion)
• Attach secondary systems for dynamic visual layering

Why Use Particle Modules:

• Modular system, no scripting required
• Supports visual realism and stylized effects
• Integrates with physics and lights
• Highly optimized for real-time rendering
• Ideal for UI, VFX, gameplay feedback, and environment details
