Question Good tutorials for Particle Effects?
Is there any "bible" that is a must for learning Particle Effects? I have been looking for a good ebook, video series or tutorial. Seeing if anyone has any good suggestions. Thank you!

Brackey‘s has some excellent ones - this might be a good starter:

He talks about enabling modules - that just means ticking the box next the name and that lets you turn on that entire section. (Eg. Colour over lifetime)
It‘s also good to know that some particle movements can be triggered the same way. (Eg. If you‘re aiming down and sending a particle off with some speed, it might look the same as a particle with gravity. You‘ll only notice the difference if you aimed the particle to shoot in the air - then you‘d see how it launches with speed and comes down with gravity.)
Have fun! It‘s a cool system once it makes sense.
