Summary

Particle Systems are surprisingly versatile. With just a few changes to a Particle System’s modules, you can produce a wide variety of effects. In this tutorial, you will create a brand new Particle System and configure its modules to create snow or rain in the scene.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
Set up a new Particle System in the scene.
Configure a Particle System's main properties, such as lifetime, size, and max particles by modifying the Main module.
Control the location and initial direction of particles by modifying the Shape module.
Control the rate and timing of particles by modifying the Emission module.
Control the appearance of individual particles by modifying the Renderer module.
