particles falling off a conveyor belt

I’m interested in showing rocks and small to fine particles falling off a conveyor belt. I’m just wondering where I should start looking to researching this. I work as a C# programmer along with a graphics team.

I think that you should study about:

  • Colliders and triggers: to detect when the particle collides with the converyor and when they are in a place where the conveyor can pull it;
  • Particle System;
  • Objects movements with or without rigidbodies ( you need to do a little research to choose what is better to your project);

Thanks! I’ll start looking at that.
