ParticleEmitters cull out when part is out of frame, even if particles extend beyond part bounds

I’ve been playing around with particles and have noticed with large particles, if the camera is halfway between the part, it stops displaying the particle. This happens when a particle is in an attachment Or just in a part. Also happens with different types of particle settings (facing camera, parallel, etc)

It’s super annoying when working with particles. I also don’t know if this was done intentionally.

Here’s a repro - just move your camera halfway inbetween the particle and it will vanish off your screen.

I’m working with OP on a project and the particle effect in the recordings also seems to cull out if they’re parented to an attachment that is parented to a part that is out of frame. A good solution for this would probably be to make sure any particles parented to attachments are only culled out if the attachment’s parent is also out of frame, not just the attachment itself.
