Hey thanks for the reply.
I tried several delays on your suggestion but I still get the error. I’m newish to Cascade but not to particle systems…did I run into an old issue?
The “skipping” really shows up toward the end of the source particle’s life, when the velocity slows way down. I’ll try to grab a picture or video, but basically the start of the ribbon lags behind the source particle in “steps”, popping back into place as if to catch up. I can probably just affect size over life so that as the source particle slows, the ribbon fades away…but that’d be a workaround if there’s not a solution.
