Tips & Tricks

• There is a 3D particles actor and a 3D model particles actor. The first is for 2D particles and the second is for 3D particles
• When working with particles you are working in 3D space so begin with adding the 3D stage orientation and set the "z translate" to -10 or something similar otherwise you will not see the particles because you are own top of the particles.
• Do not forget to play with the particle count and location/velocity to really see them move.

Practice Assignment

Make it snow with an appropriate soundtrack. Bonus points for interactivity or special effects.
