Introduction

In this lesson, you will be introduced to the basic concepts of Nucleus dynamics, as well as learn how to create an nParticle and emitter object. You will then adjust nParticle object attributes to create a simple nParticle effect. In this lesson, you also learn how to:

Create passive collision objects for your nParticles to collide with.
Set nParticle size.
Adjust Nucleus node attributes.
Adjust attributes to control the behavior of your nParticles.
