Does this mean you can make EPIC looking tornados with particle systems now? (Like in blender with smoke simulations) Or are we not at that stage yet?
None the less very nice cant wait for it even though i havent learned how to use particles myself.

Amazing
Any plans for compatibility with ImageLabels and Decals/Texture instances as well?

Will there be any huge performance issues by using this feature excessively if it’s rolled out?

Is this a custom particle maker in Studio? Because if so I’m very happy because I was waiting for something like that.

I’m happy to report that I just merged the Flipbook code into the mainline. It still needs to be tested, and then flag-flipped. But we’re one big step closer to getting this in everybody’s hands in time for Christmas.

Do my eyes deceive me? A ROBLOX staff member posting in #development-discussion?! It’s almost unheard of! 
Animated particles will help a LOT of people, and I for one am excited for this update!

And the funny thing is that if a normal user posted the same topic, it would’ve been taken down for being off-topic.

Well, I’m terribly sorry everybody.
My Flipbook changes inadvertedly were the cause of this rather embarrasing and serious bug: Particles, beams, and trails all disappearing, not disappearing when supposed to, and causing performance issues - #40 by JaapSuter
Fixing this first is more important than releasing Flipbooks, but it has the unfortunate consequence that I won’t be able to enable Flipbooks until the new year.
I’m terribly sorry everybody. I know people are as excited about this feature as I am, but stability of the existing product is more important (especially around the holidays), and that means Flipbooks has to wait until after Christmas before you’ll be abe to use it.
My fault. I’ll keep everybody posted.

All good. I love what you’re doing. I need this. We all need this. You’re literally carrying Christmas on your back. If you need a further pep talk, memes for motivation or a voucher for McNuggets, I got you.
Best wishes for the holidays.
