Change particle speed, scale, and life

- [Narrator] In this movie, we're going to learn about how we can use modifiers to affect the scale, speed, and life of particles. We'll start with the scale modifier. So I've gone ahead and set up this system, if we just press play. Now, we're not going to see anything because in order to scale up particles, the emitter is the radius of nothing. And so, let's enable the scale up modifier, now you can see ... that our particles are scaling up. If we go into the settings of that, we're looking at the particle radius. You can change the radius, you can also adjust the scale and the massive particles. But we're just focusing on radius for now, because the parameters are very similar. And what we're doing is just changing the value over time. You can certainly set a value, and we'll look at some of these others in a few moments. So what we're doing is just changing up this value by just a small amount. And we're using a linear falloff to control that as well. What we'd also like to do is…
