    I was just simply following this tutorial:


    At 7:28 of the video, he added a point light to the particle system, and followed his step, there is no light shown in the scene.(I tried with unity version 2019.2.9f1 and 20184.14f1)

    Here is some of the screen shoot of how I set the particle system and the light. Am I missing something?

    There’s nothing in your scene for light to illuminate. You only have a camera, the particle system and the light.

    Unless you add a floor or something else that light can bounce off, all you will see is an infinite void.
