Blender's particle nodes allow you to create a variety of different particles, from simple sparks to more complex systems like fire and smoke. By connecting different nodes together, you can create some really amazing effects.
There are four main types of particles in Blender:
Emitter: The emitter is the node that emits the particles. It can be any object in the scene, but is usually a plane or a mesh.
Force Field: A force field is a node that affects the particles as they move through the scene. Force fields can be used to create things like wind or gravity.
Collision: A collision node is used to detect when particles collide with other objects in the scene. This can be used to create things like explosions.
Render: The render node is used to render the particles. This is the node that will actually create the final image or animation.
