Particles
A looping attractor animation
In this lesson
Move particle maths into a shader and keep 60 frames a second. We build it live in about 21 minutes, then you change it in the Lab until it is yours.
Try this after
Change one number at a time and write down what it did. Most of the good surprises in this course come from the third or fourth change, not the first.

Keep going.
