Hit the P key, and then what we're gonna do here is I'm gonna go to my objects, and I'm gonna go to the Out Debris points. And I'm gonna make a null, and these are those debris points that came out of that special debris node we were just talking about. Let me go up a level. Let me turn off everything else, and now we can see that this particle source object node is gonna be our source node to get our emission points for our particles. Okay, so we've built, I'm gonna make that a light yellow, and as you can see there's another object that I had already made for you in this scene here, which is the particle source ground hits. And I've built this and provided this already because we're doing a little bit of…
