Particle subframe sampling

Particle subframe sampling

Hi Eric,
Best thing I can suggest is to plot the red particles into real
emitters (geometry) and use sub-frame emission even though it works 1
time out of 5.

With a scriptable emit, we could easily decay a couple of blue
particles and give them a small individual offset to break these
patterns.

Good luck!
Vincent
