Problem description:
I am trying to get a better understanding of how the new particles work.
This is the code from the reference on particles.
The current issue is, the snow only covers a 5x5ish area in the middle of my view port instead of covering the entire screen as I'd like it to. I've tried adjusting the values and can't seem to get the snow coverage to increase in size.
I'd like to get a better understanding of how this works so I can then make a nice looking rain and create cool ability effects using particles.
Any advice? Thank you!
