Particle nodes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Godot provides two different nodes for 2D particles, :ref:`class_GPUParticles2D` and
:ref:`class_CPUParticles2D`.
GPUParticles2D is more advanced and uses the GPU to process particle effects, but that limits
it to higher end graphics API, and in our case to the GLES3 renderer. For projects using
the GLES2 backend, CPUParticles2D is a CPU-driven option with near feature parity with
GPUParticles2D, but lesser performance. While GPUParticles2D is configured via a
:ref:`class_ParticleProcessMaterial` (and optionally with a custom shader), the matching options
are provided via node properties in CPUParticles2D (with the exception of the trail settings).
You can convert a GPUParticles2D node into a CPUParticles2D node by clicking on the node in the
inspector, and selecting "Convert to CPUParticles2D" in the "Particles" menu of the toolbar.

near-feature parity with GPUParticles2D, but lower performance when using large
amounts of particles. On the other hand, CPUParticles2D may perform better on
low-end systems or in GPU-bottlenecked situations.
