using default particle material

When I create a particle effect, the particles use a default particle material, I want to use that material for other things like when I create a particle effect from scratch by adding particle components. How can I do this? It doesn’t show up in the dropdown menu, and I can’t find it in the project assets, also when I select it it doesn’t point to anything in the project view.

I would also like to use other defaults like the box mesh filter, can someone explain to me how to do this?

sweet!! thanks man.

No problem. I’m still not a particle system expert, but that default material gave me some great results with a little bit of tweaking, for a couple of effects I tried.
