Feedback There's are a way to simulate particles in Unity Editor?

Hey guys, that's a question and also a feedback for Unity!

I noticed some cool/realistc effects in 3D softwares like Blender, that's a feature called "particle simulation" i just adjust the parameters, create the particle and every time i run a test, the results will be differents.
So, can i create that with unity editor* or not? And if not, that's a good feature to add to Unity.
* = via Unity API, third-party plugins or coding my own particle simulation system.

Thanks anyway,

wait ... is it that you are looking for https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PartSysReference.html

 

I'll check it out

 

ooh yeah, but can i do particles simulations with that? Like "procedural generated particles"

 

what do you call particles simulation?
What do you mean by procedural generated particles?
Precisely!

 

Particle simulation: simulate fluid, explosions. But in a procedural generated way.

Procedural generated particles, ok i'll give an example:

I want to create an explosion effect, but I don't want to create an effect that every time it runs will be the same thing. Even though I create several varieties of the same effect, I don't want something pre-made.

So I want the effects (particles) to be procedurally created, and every time an explosion happens it will be different.

Of course if I can do that, it will be the first step in extending this idea as variations in size and shape of explosion depending on variables such as exploding power and so on.

But let's consider that you can make 3D particles, fluids and even create a procedurally generated animations and artificial intelligent. So, why wouldn't it be possible to make procedural generated particles?

I just found some tutorials on how to simulate fluids, but I want to go beyond that.

 

Well, i can say that's the first step!

Really thanks, surely i'll go beyond that after API experimentation, considering DOTS and the fact that Unity is constantly updating and improving, my idea will be complete soon.
Thank you one more time.

 

I was waiting for more details from you, to know what you understood, but I actually class particles system as procedural system themselves, they already do what you say by design, even unity's. They are parametric effects that have random constraints for variety. It's been this way even before 8bits console.

 

Not a hotly debated topic, I just didn't know where to start, it's all right now, thanks to the Unity API
