Particles

My idea for the particle effects homework was to make a fall tree from the leaf effect and change the colors from green to red and gold. This is what I came up with at first:



It looks kind of like a Minecraft tree, and the falling autumn leaves particle is invisible. In class, after adding a mask to the leaves, moving the autumn leaves to a different layer, and making two layers of the tree trunk so that it would work properly, it looks like this:



I couldn't find how to change the colors of the particles at first so I took a screenshot. You have to go into the particles menu and make sure the last node is selected.
