Thanks Adam, this is a great idea, and something I'm not used to doing, so I will have to learn more. Would it be best to do this with ice? Or just basic particles?
As for fluids....am I missing something....do we have fluids in Softimage these days...? Nebula clouds would be perfect, as I need some interest, and something to account for more light happening in the scene. Basically, my scene is floating about in space... Anything you can point me to to learn more about these processes? Even just topic keywords to explore would help. Thanks very much!
