Bomber feature request -- particle size > 100

I second this. I want to say add more levels to density, but that would make a high repeat/high density situation really slow. I also thought making the density a hard set amount of particles would be nice, but that would break repeat. The only one that would work well is making the Size maximum much higher. In this case, you could make a particle image with a bunch of speckles, input into a low density, huge particle size Bomber and still give the effect of high density because of the amount of speckles in the particle image. This would cut down on number of particles and fill rate... right?

I also wish there was a way to map the particles to the Chance masks. So instead of simply masking them out, move them to the white space.

I agree. Many particle engines also have a 'don't let instances overlap function'. Essentially it just culls out the ones which touch... which could be very useful in filter construction.

I'd like to be able to overlap the particles up to a certain point.

or, to overlap with a blend mode and/or varying opacities. +1.

Instead of removing particles that are in the black space, move them to the white space. So if there are 1000 particles with no mask, there will still be 1000 particles with a mask. Obviously it would want to bias more of the particles in the lighter areas if it's a soft mask.
