Source Particle Editor Tutorial?

[overki11]

Not sure if this is the right place, couldn't find anywhere else to put this thread.

Any good, in-depth tutorials for source particle editor? I can't find any.

Yes, I've used google.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

That's a bit of a small tutorial, in comparison to everything the particle seems seems to have. I don't know hardly any of the terms that the particle system boasts, nor how to do anything practical.

The fire tutorial doesn't even tell you what it's doing, it just says "do this" and it provides an end result.

I'm looking for documentation on it, maybe.

On another note, whenever I create custom textures for the particle system (such as this one: [url]http://i.imgur.com/osSw2KP.png[/url] ) they look really bad. How to create textures for particle system that look decent?
