Why video game doors are so hard to get right - There are many situations where it’s better to control emission of particles by distance travelled instead of time. This is particularly useful if the emitter’s speed varies a lot or it moves too fast so that even emitting every single frame will produce a trail with gaps.

Mesh Animation - Mesh Animation is a lightweight library for rendering hundreds of meshes in one draw call with GPU instancing. Mesh Animation bakes vertex positions for each frame of animation to texture. A Custom shader then moves mesh vertices to desired positions on the GPU. This allows drawing the same original mesh multiple times with GPU Instancing. Unique animation parameters are overridden for each instance with Material Property Block. NOTE: Library requires Odin Inspector [which you can get in the Humble Bundle above!] for custom editors.
