Trace Animation Start Point

[Anonymous]

All traces within a set should have the option of starting at the same time during an animation.

It's confusing for the traces which happen to be longer to start the animation before the shorter traces. The current process appears to equalize the trace set to the middle of the animation time, revealing the origin of the trace before the seed point. We should have the option of moving this middle-justification to the beginning of the animation so all traces appear from the seed point at the same time.

Thanks for the feedback @Anonymous.

You may have noticed in 2017 we made a bunch of changes & improvements to particle traces. We are looking for this type of feedback so we can consider what to do next.

Yes, the new trace tool is a great improvement over the traces from planes. But the animation still pretty much the same. I usually end up deleting a bunch of the longer traces from a set in order to get the animation to look better.
