Does RA3 have a particle system easier to make? I've been texturing a lot , and taught myself how to over time., for maybe a year

Particle systems are a graphical technique that simulates complex physically-based effects. Particle systems are collections of small images that when viewed together form a more complex “fuzzy” object, such as fire, smoke, weather, or fireworks. These complex effects are controlled by specifying the behavior of individual particles using properties such as initial position, velocity, and lifespan.

Particle system effects are common in movies and video games. For example, to represent damage to a plane, a technical artist could use a particle system to represent an explosion on the plane’s engine and then render a different particle system representing a smoke trail from the plane as it crashes.
