So, if we look at our composition here and I click and drag to scrub the current time indicator, you notice I have a ton of particles that are coming and bouncing off the floor, which looks kind of cool, but what I want to see happen is when these particles hit the floor I want them to change to a different kind of particle. So to do that I want these particles to emit new particles on the collision with the floor. So, if I select layer two and go to the Effect Controls panel here, you'll notice I have Physics and Bounce set up, which is great, but if I go to the Aux System here I can open that, this is where we can emit particles from other particles.
