Particle Research

For our programming class we were to look into how to create our own particle effect that would fit into our race track levels. For my effect I chose to look into creating a money trail that comes from the side of my car as it drives. My level starts just after a bank robbery has taken place. The idea is that the player just got the money, got in the car, and is now on the run from the cops.

Here is a tutorial video on creating a Mesh Emitter which put me on the right path to creating the particle effect. I did the first few steps, then did some of my own experimentation.

This picture is very exaggerated but the money coming out the back of the car is somewhere in the ball-field as to what what I'm going for.
