Still dripping! This seemed like such a simple concept... Particles are emitted from the feet, with velocity driven by the footfall, curling around a vector based on the foot's y travel. Finding ways to make the distribution of curves more interesting has a large overlap with finding ways to crash the sim. So, in the end, a lot like a long slog across a frozen lake. Is that sound at your feet magic happening, or just ice cracking? And suddenly it's Tuesday...
