The complete image of an “Explosion” effect
In this article, I introduce how to make an explosion effect from a reference image of a deep-fried chicken (Karaage in Japanese) in Unity. This approach was popular a long time ago but I will dare to introduce it today! Firstly, go shopping for some deep-fried chicken for a reference image. It doesn’t matter where to buy it, at a hyper store or a convenience store. You can cook it by your self, of course. The shown below is what I bought this time.

By the way, I ate them up after taking the photos.

How to make an explosion effect
Add a Particle System
Select GameObject > Effects > Particle System
![Explosion01_02 - STYLY Particle Systemの追加](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_02.jpg)
Add a Particle System
It creates particles in the Scene.
![Explosion01_03 - STYLY パーティクルが生成された](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_03.jpg)
Particles are created.
Set Shape to “Sphere”
In the Shape module, set Shape to “Sphere” and set Radius to 0.2.
![Explosion01_04 - STYLY ShapeをSphereにする](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_04.jpg)
Set Shape to “Sphere”.
Create a Material for the particles
Create a new Material for the effect. Set Material’s Shader to Particle > Additive.
![Explosion01_05 - STYLY パーティクルのマテリアルを作る](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_05.jpg)
Create a Material for the particle
Assing a texture
Prepare a texture for the effect. I picked up a piece of deep-fried chicken from the image, and make a texture blurred around the boundary.
![Explosion01_06 - STYLY エフェクト用に加工したからあげ画像](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_06.jpg)
The image of deep-fried chicken processed for the effect.
Assign the image to “Particle Texture”.
![Explosion01_07 - STYLY テクスチャをからあげに](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_07.jpg)
Assign “Deep-fried Chicken” to the texture!
Play the particles to check.
![Explosion01_08 - STYLY パーティクルがからあげになった](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_08.jpg)
The particle became “Deep-fried chicken” now.
The setting of the Emission module
Set the parameters of the Emission module. Set “Rate over Time” to zero. Add a Burst with Count set to 100.
![Explosion01_09 - STYLY Emissionの設定](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_09.jpg)
The setting of the Emission module
The setting of the main module.
Let’s set the parameters for the main module. Set the parameters as follows: Duration: 2.00 Start Lifetime: 1.5 and 2 with “Random between two constants” selected Start Size: 0.4 and 1.5 with “Random between two constants” selected Start Rotation: 0 and 360 with “Random between two constants” selected
![Explosion01_10 - STYLY メインモジュールの設定](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_10.jpg)
The setting of the main module
The setting of the “Size over Lifetime” module
Set the “curve for Size over Lifetime”. Now, I adjust the “Start Size” once more.
![Explosion01_11 - STYLY Size over Lifetimeモジュールの設定](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_11.jpg)
The setting of the “Size over Lifetime” module
The setting of the “Color over Lifetime” module
Let’s colour the explosion. Make a gradation that starts with orange-type colour. Set the parameter for Alpha so that it becomes transparent gradually.
![Explosion01_12 - STYLY Color over Lifetimeモジュールの設定](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_12.jpg)
The setting of the “Color over Lifetime” module
Adjust the whole image
Adjust the parameters again while checking how the explosion looks.
![Explosion01_13 - STYLY 全体の調整](https://styly.cc/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Explosion01_13.jpg)
Adjust the whole image.
The explosion effect completed
It ended up with the shown below.
