# Visual Effects (VFX)

Roblox has quite a few tools that offer the ability to create some really interesting visual effects such as Particle Emitters, Beams, and Trails.

### Particle Emitters

Particle Effects  are tools that allow you to spawn 2D Images in a large array of ways. This allows you to create effects such as fire and explosions, to fireworks and blood spatters.

For more information on Particles, check out the [particle-emitters](https://themattempire.gitbook.io/documentation/archive/roblox/visual-effects-vfx/particle-emitters "mention") documentation.

### Beams

Beams are tools that allow you to stretch 2D images across a beam between to points. If the two points move, the beam continues to connect them. This allows you to create effects such as slashes and running water to electricity and plasma beams.

For more information on Beams, check out the [beams](https://themattempire.gitbook.io/documentation/archive/roblox/visual-effects-vfx/beams "mention") documentation.

### Trails

Trails are tools that allow you to spawn 2D Images as a trail behind a moving object. This allows you to create any effect such as a nitro or rocket boost behind a vehicle.
