Let’s use Geometry / Simulation Nodes in Blender 3.6 to make procedural fireworks! Fireworks are a staple particle exercise for me and even though it took a little bit of doing we made it happen! Enjoy the wild ride through: particles, physics, vectors, attributes, and explosions! I hope you learn something new (I know I did🙂).
