Just a simple firework effect (went with an African Lily look), but it served its purpose in getting me familiarized with cryengine's particle editor and asset workflow. There's still a few things I want to add to this though. Today I'm going to add a static mesh for the initial rocket particle (I'd like to make sure this engine handles mesh particles as I would expect so I don't have any unpleasant surprises in the future). Also, I was trying to set up ribbon particles (trailing after the initial rocket and the particles in the first burst. Unfortunately the documentation on cryengine is pretty barebones, nor could I find any youtube tutorials, so I'm kind of just feeling around in the dark. If I figure them out I promise I'll make a tutorial to help share the knowledge. Likewise if any of you could help point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated!

Cryengine Particle Test
So there's an awesome company I'd like to work for and they use cryengine, which I've never had the time to delve into, so I downloaded Amazon Lumberyard (pretty much the same thing) and started messing around in it. Here's what I ended up with after a couple hours of poking around in the editor.
