ok i took a look at the particle tutorial, and honestly i didnt understand much of it...
the basic idea of creating it i understand, and most of the values i understand too, but theres still some unclear parts...
i dont really understand rendering, and moving :/

for example i would like to create an effect of smoke comming from my character feet, or small fire novas on the ground as my character steps.
how would i do stuff like that?

just anything that could help me understand the whole thing better? :/
