Making particles collide

- [Instructor] In this movie, we're going to look at how we'd set up particle collisions with scene objects and particle to particle collisions as well. And the results can be really, really spectacular, and it's also a lot of fun. So let's just get into it. Alright, we've got this system, and let's just play through what we've got. Okay, so some particles are falling down, and the idea here is that we'd want them to collide with this plane. So what we need to do is we need to add a special tag to this plane. So you can right click on the plane and choose X-Particles tags, collider tag, or just come over to the tags menu here and add an X-Particles collider. So immediately we'll start to see a result because enable collisions is checked. So let's just come in and see what we've got. So there's a lot of bounce happening, and that's due to this setting here. We can of course change that, add some variation, and now they're bouncing less. And we could even increase the scatter, maybe add…
