	The '''SWHC''' [[Effect Script\|effect script]] format is used to build swoosh effects in the ''Metroid Prime'' series.		The '''SWHC''' [[Effect Script\|effect script]] format is used to build swoosh effects in the ''Metroid Prime'' series.
	Swooshes are characterized as dynamically-generated, ~~trailing~~ ''~~triangle-strips~~'' ~~"brushed" into~~ space.		Swooshes are characterized as dynamically-generated triangles "brushed" into space.

			Each swoosh system emits ''particle instances'' once per frame, connecting each new instance with the previous instance.
			The system will not render until it has a history of ''at least'' 2 swoosh particles (2 frames of updates). Swoosh cross-sections may
			form simple planes through space (<code>SIDE==2</code>) or extruded prism shapes (<code>SIDE>=3</code>).

			To smooth out intra-frame geometry, vertices connecting particle instances may be calculated using [[wikipedia:Tricubic interpolation\|tricubic interpolation]].
			SPLN defines the number of subdivisions with which to perform interpolation.
