Trapar needs extra shape and volume to it. Mainly the side splashes.

This is looking good, I like the functions (how it works) I think how it looks still
needs work. 

My first issue is with the added side trapar on the back of the board and along the
trail. It should only go a little bit off of the back of the board then shrink into
the main trail. I would recommend making new trapar (parts?) for this. I can help
with this if it is a series of images or something that i can give you to animate.

Second issue is the trapar needs to be the width of the back edge of the board, a few
feet down the line it can dwindle to the current size you have it at.

Please let me know if there is any frame rate issues, on todays play test I had some
FPS dips when other people were on the team.

I just noticed something Cerebrate. When you go off trapar the trapar stops (this is
good) When you get back on trapar the old trapar stream re-connects with the new one.
Like the trapar was still being drawn, just not visibly. Can you make it so a new
trail is created and the old fades away?

Err. kind of. it's really rather complex how it makes the trapar, and I didn't write 
the script for it. it's like some extrude thing. I'm really not entirely sure how it 
works.  I'm not even sure if the current trapar is something we even want to keep.

Speaking of trapar animations, there should probably be a "splash" effect for going
on-trapar or turning that's proportional to strength of stop or turn.

That would also solve the problem of uniform trapar paths.

altho the current trapper is kinda cool, and serves its purpose, i think it could be
replaced with something better at some stage, with something a bit more dynamic and
interesting. that would definitly make flying around more interesting as well.

The Current trapar needs to go from a still image to an animated one. is this possible?

Actually it is an animated image, it just has a slow framerate that coincides with
distance from the LFO.

Do you mean like in-game rendered dynamic particles or something? That sounds really
CPU intensive for a game that's trying to cut down on power usage.

He means an animated image for the main trail pieces, that is currently just a static 
image. The extra little side particles are animated somewhat.

The main trail could be animated, yes, and is originally what I wanted. It needs to 
basically look like something is flowing outwards from the back.

I sent you the fixed trail, the current ones fall off is wrong

yeah, I thought it looked shitty compared to the awesomeness of the side ones.
However, I'm going to make you change it again: Make it loop better.  The last frame
and the first frame are too different, and you can see the jump it makes.

Project Member #16 srpli...@gmail.com
Its particles so I cant really get it perfect, but Ill just make the animation longer
so that the jump doesnt happen as offtn.
