when I was in school I really wanted to make a horror game and one of the things was footprints like this that follow you when you aren't looking and the grass or other material dissolves into the entity. I spent weeks trying to make the grass vanishing effect but I never managed to make what I had in my head. Grass was also simply too expensive on the hardware available.
That sounds so cool though
