hey! did you ever finish on optimizing this? me and a couple friends have been completely stumped on how you made this and id really like to know how it works, its really groundbreaking for environmental effects i feel

I did but it turns out on low end devices the off screen particle culling breaks the effect and it becomes sparse again. It works by having a grid of emitters locked to part and teleporting the far ones to the other side of the grid when you move, and adjusting transparency based on distance
