Understanding particle behavior and Unity’s particle system
When designing immersive XR experiences, understanding the physics of particle behavior plays an important role. By leveraging Unity’s particle system and the fundamentals of particle physics, you can create rich, dynamic, and realistic effects that enhance the immersion of your virtual environments. In this section, you will learn everything you need to know about real-world particle behavior.
Understanding the behavior of particles in the real world
Particle behavior in the physical world refers to the ways in which small fragments or quantities of matter move and interact, based on forces, environmental conditions, and intrinsic properties. Particles in the natural environment behave according to certain laws and principles. Key factors include gravity, air resistance, life span, and collision behavior. Here is an overview of what all these terminologies mean:
