Hello all. Nertea, I would like to highly commend your art work and thank you and your team of fantastic contributors for maintaining a series of mods I have used since I started playing KSP a few years ago. If I had a background beyond SOLIDWORKS and PLC programming I would want to know how I could contribute, however, I digress. I was re-entering Kerbin earlier today at a fairly high velocity (restock inflatable heatsheild deployed) feeling a pang of disappointment not only in the performance hit I was experiencing given my fairly beefy laptop, but also the quality of the reentry particle effects themselves (I do have “5reentry particle effect” mod installed that does help visually and it is worth noting my visual mods list surely contributed to the performance hit). As I am a regular reader of these forums (have not posted much as I have nothing of value to contribute) I became aware of waterfall and was quite impressed. I am not sure how heatsheild particle effects are generated in comparison to engine effects, however, if they are similar would it be possible to use waterfall to fill this roll? In your opinion, are the capabilities of waterfall (assuming it could even be used for these effects) adequate for replicating reentry heating / plasma trail? If so, what resources are available so that I could possibly explore this and potentially contribute?
Of course, if it is not possible then please disregard, apologies for the long winded and off-topic question, and thank you again for truly enhancing what I already consider my personal favorite game. Cheers.
