Flipbooks rate depends on distance to ParticleEmitter

ParticleEmitters using a flipbook have their rate slightly changed (but still really visible) by the distance between the camera and the ParticleEmitter parent 3D object (part/attachment).

In that Gyazo video you can see how (on both ParticleEmitters, blue and red ones), if camera close to the ParticleEmitter, particle gets brighter for a moment (which means overriding; which obviously means a higher emitting rate than particle lifetime); at the same time, if I get my camera away, we can observe a moment of absence of particles (which means a lower emitting rate than particle lifetime).

Expected behavior

Flipbook particles should have the same rate/lifetime always, no matter where the camera is located at.

Hi HaxxerVaxxer,

Thank you for submitting this report. Unfortunately, this is by design as one of our automatic scalability systems. We will continue trying to improve the system to avoid such noticeable artifacts like this one, but I’ll be closing this since it’s not technically a bug. Thank you
