You might be able to get a better disintegrating effect if you used an
actual texture for the fade.  You will still have to make a dynamic tmd
routine to do the fade, but you can use some kind of green staticy texture
that looks like something is being destroyed.  Then adjust the brightness
and translucency of the texture to fade it out.  This would require a little
more memory to work with, but it would look cool.
