WHAT’S NEXT?
NEXT is a jump-start guide and the manual to
Particle Playground 3, intended to inspire and
give ideas how to bend particles your way.
WELCOME TO THE PLAYGROUND
Particle Playground 3 is a versatile particle
effect editor for the Unity Engine which
extends the capabilities of the Shuriken
particle system. Along come abilities to build
particles from skinned, procedural or regular
meshes, images, paint, projection and splines
- all live in the scene.
All settings can be controlled intuitively
through the Unity Inspector where gizmos and
handles are available in Scene View.
Give your particles life through turbulent
forces and let manipulators guide them based
on their position to give them new properties.
The Event system give particles the ability to
talk to other Particle Playground systems and
game logic in the scene. Through the list of
Snapshots you can load particle settings and
jump through live particle states.
Store your particles in form of presets and
load them whenever needed. Did you create
something amazing? - Use the Preset Wizard
to export presets to share your creations with
others. License includes redistribution.
Under the hood you will find multithreading,
extensive classes, a script mode for emission
with a set of script- and scene examples to get
started. The framework is entirely written in
C# where source code is available and ready
for you to extend.
Particle Playground 3 is available for all
platforms.
