Built-in Particle System

Unity’s Built-in Particle System allows you to create effects for every platform that Unity supports. The Built-in Particle System simulates particle behavior on the CPU which allows for the following main benefits:

  • You can use C# scripts to interact with a system and the individual particles within it.
  • Particle systems can use Unity’s underlying physics system and thus interact with Colliders in your Scene.

For more information on how to use the Built-in Particle System, see the Particle System component.
