3. In the Hierarchy expand “subemitter_test3” and “emitter” GameObjects then select “pink” GameObject
4. Start recording the screen and in the Scene view press the “Play” button in the Particles window
5. Stop recording and find the highest number of Particles in the recording
6. Enter Play Mode
7. Repeat the 4th and 5th steps
