particle material to level of gray through animation

Unity Engine

Hi,

Is there any way to change the color of a particle/additive material to level of gray with an animation ?
I would like to change fire to smoke when the particles start to fade.

Thanks.

I think particles have special thing for that. Just browse through properties of emitter and there should be field “animation” and you can add several stages to it, IIRC. Try playing with that.
