Special Effects are effects that can be added to a model to make it more realistic. They are visual additions to the 3D world.
Special effects and particles
Special Effects consist of particles, which are the actual visual elements as displayed in the 3D world. A Special Effect is a collection of one or more of such particles.
Particles

The following particles are available:
