How to create 3D particles in Unity 3D

Step 1 :

Create New blank scene

Step 2 :

Create Plane for the base

Step 3 :

Set Position, Rotation and Scale.

Step 4 :

Create Material and name it Base.

Step 5 :

Set albedo to (5, 130, 220) in RGB format.

Step 6 :

Assign this material to Plane.

 Step 7 :

Create Particle System.

Step 8 :

Set Position, Rotation and Scale.

Step 9 :

Create Material and name it Particle.

Step 10 :

Set albedo to (220, 5, 55) in RGB format.

Step 11 :

Assign this material to Particle System.

Step 12 :

To convert particles into 3D objects change Render Mode in Renderer section of Particle System to “Mesh”.

Step 13 :

Select Cube in Mesh Section (You can select any like sphere, capsule etc.)

Step 14 :

You can see this output till now.

Step 15 :

Reduce Rate Over Time to 2 in Emission section.

Step 16 :

Change Shape to Box.

Step 17 :

Set Box X to 25.

Step 18 :

Set Start LifeTime to 15 and Start Speed to 2.

Step 19 :

Set Rotation Over LifeTime -> select separate Axes and Select Random between Two Constants.

Step 20 :

Set Axes same as following.

And that’s it, you have successfully created particles of 3D objects.
