Rune's particle system will take a little bit of time reading the
documentation to figure out, but the results can be very nice:

For an example of what can be done (with a brain as big as Rune's):

Make sure to give the terms of use a good look, since it has sparked some
debate.  Although, I believe that Rune is not only generous, but a
reasonable person -- just asking him if you can use the system and
mentioning that it was used in a credit line will most likely suffice.
Turning it into a commercial package for Microsoft will probably not be
okay.
