  Yes! I too am wondering when this will happen and if they will have animated texture options.

  Likewise.

  Someone over at High Fidelity explained to me that an object can be configured with a particle system without needing to add a script to it, which is good for static cases like simple fire or water.

  But a particle is a script/code isn't it? The code still has to be assigned to the object for it to work properly.

  In Second Life, a particle system is actually a property of an object. A script is used merely to set its parameters or turn it on and off. So in principle, the properties could be editing on the object without the need for a script to do it.

  To be sure, in a particle system, scripts do not fire off particles one at a time. Instead, the system creates a semi-randomized shower of the particles by itself. The script merely configures it. Some scripts rapidly reconfigure the system in order to achieve more complexity, though.

  Pretty good odds it will mimic something like this

  In that case maybe there is hope for animated particles!
