I wrote a simple scene for waterdrops..
placing every single drop makes it quite memoryextensive

I think you should be able to tweek the txture of the drops to
your needs,
I'm not such a master in texturing like you are ...

I'm not sure it's what you wanted but an idea I had when reading
your Post ...
look in p.t.scene-files and p.b.images ...
