is it possible to attach strands to an ice particle sim that is using instanced geometry for the particles ? I want to have a strand trailing main particles.

6. Arnold release

Any news on this front ... seems to have stalled out. The only renderer I see doing self shadowing is Mootzoids emRenderPointCloud and I do not think it can obtain the quality of krakatoa or fume.
