There is something I can't do with xml particles. There is only a <start> and <end> sections under <particlesystem> <particle> It would be nice to be able to have at least one Midpoint to change the speed at which the color or alpha or size changes from Start to End definitions. Right now a vapor trail starting at alpha 0.4 , size 0.7 , and ending at alpha 0.95 , size 18 , with life-sec of 45 takes too long to look nice, and then evaporates rapidly in the last few seconds.
