Particle Effects

As a side project I have been working on creating particle effects. Particle effects are an important component to video games, its what brings games to life. Explosions, Weather, Reflections, Sparks, Spells, and Smoke are all produced by particle effects and the bring life to your game.

Particle effects really peaked my interest when I was playing games and wondering how my computer could handle the giant explosion that was on my screen. After some research I found that particle systems can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and take up three-dimensional space. I also learned how to make particle systems very efficiently and less intensive on your GPU.

I really enjoy creating particle effects and plan to continue working on more as a side project as its a lot of fun to make cool effects for the games I will be working on in the future.
