Course content

7 sections • 26 lectures • 2h 11m total length

Particle System Introduction Part I8:08
Explore how to create and customize a Unity particle system, shaping explosions with sphere shape, and adjust duration, start delay, lifetime, start speed, start size, color, gravity, and emission rate.
Particle System Introduction Part II8:53
Learn to craft realistic explosions with a Unity particle system by shaping lifetime, velocity curves, color by lifetime, size over time, rotation, noise, collisions, trails, and custom render materials.

Introduction and preview2:24
In this lecture we show you a preview of the particles you'll learn to create.
Ground Pound Particle10:43
In this lecture we will create a simple particle effect for when something hits the ground.
Explosion Particle10:12
We create an Explosion particle effect.
Polishing our explosion particle8:18
We wrap up with our particles for this section.
Consistency with particles0:16

Preview of Effect and setup information.1:26
Creating the base of our explosion effect.7:41
Create a base explosion with a unity particle system, import explosion assets, and customize shape, material, color, and lifetime to craft a natural blast.
Adding chunks to our Explosion Effect.5:09
Adding Sub Emitters to our chunks!4:36
Adding Sparks to our Explosion.3:15
Learn to create sparks for explosions in Unity by tweaking particle systems: shape, color, start speed, and a spark material with stretch billboard rendering for realistic visuals.
Final Touches4:01

Lightning Particle Effect Part 16:20
Learn to create a lightning particle effect in Unity from scratch using a particle system, including shape, lifetime, speed, radius, noise, color, collision, and trail.
Lightning Particle Effect Part 23:28
Lightning Particle Effect Part 33:20
Create a lightning-like particle effect in Unity by building a material-free particle system, removing fog and skybox, and tuning trails and axis velocity from a sphere emitter.

Arcade Explosion Part 14:10
Create an arcade explosion in Unity by importing assets and building a three-part particle system from circle, square, triangle, and pentagon textures with additive materials.
Arcade Explosion Part 24:20
Arcade Explosion Part 35:03
Arcade Explosion Part 48:23
Arcade Explosion Part 52:02
Create and refine arcade particle effects in Unity by layering a core circle explosion with triangle emitters, adjusting color over lifetime, speed, and trailing gradients for a cohesive final burst.

Requirements

Have a computer that can run Unity.
Have Unity installed.

Description

In this course we will teach you everything you need to know about the Unity particle system.
You will learn how to create particles on examples, this means that we will take particles from other games as inspiration, and recreate those so you can get a better understanding of how they were made.

Particles and special effects are an important part of every game and as a game developer you should take the time to learn as much about them as you can.

No coding involved, we will just be using Unity's built in particle editor.

Who this course is for:

This course is for game developers who want to learn more about particles in Unity.
For people who wish to take their game development skills to the next level with amazing particles.
Beginners and professionals alike.
