	* '''Less is more''': Don't over do it, try to find a balance in what ~~your~~ trying to show (big, medium and small particles). A good effect does not cover everything, but supports what is being told or shown by other means, for example animations or sound or even other ways. Think of it as something with it's own little story that has a start, middle and an end.		* '''Less is more''': Don't over do it, try to find a balance in what you're trying to show (big, medium and small particles).
