How do I make particles fade out over lifetime?

Assuming you are using a particles material:

if you go down into the colour settings, you should enable colour ramp. I haven’t used unity’s system, but I assume this acts similar. Then create a new gradient.

This gradient is followed over time, so if you want a fade over time effect, you should set white (255, 255, 255, 255) at the start, then at the end do transparent and white (255, 255, 255, 0)

Then over a particle’s lifetime, it will follow the colour of the ramp and become more transparent.

hope this helps!

This is it! This is the answer. Thank you so much.
