In further testing of the ring and arc asteroid patterns, it became apparent that the refresh of the asteroid particles was creating, what I feel as, immersion breaking issues as asteroids transitioned in and out of the rotation pattern. This update is designed to address this issue by reducing the frequency of such transitions and reducing the speed as the asteroids come in and out of view, hopefully so that it is barely noticeable. If this hasn't been a concern for your use, please do not proceed with the update.
As an apology for not catching this issue prior to release, I have added a space dust effect in this update.
I intended for this update to include all previous assets and the new/modified assets, but the file size for such as update was over 800MB and the Hub limits upload size to 500MB. This update incorporates a new "Nice Asteroids" subfolder that includes:
- 20 meter asteroid cluster
- 180 and 300 meter asteroid rings/arcs
- Two variants of asteroid collisions
- Slight improvements to 4 previously released ice asteroid patterns.
-- The tube patterns expand out at a slightly faster rate so that the asteroids can fly around larger objects without colliding.
