Yes, but I can't make the particles fragment!

The closest thing I can do is to use so many particles that they blob
together, so several particles look like one big one.

When a big water drop fragments into several smaller, do those smaller drops
bounce less than a drop that is small in the first place?

What models and which braking scene???

Hmm, maybe.

That might be difficult. Anyway, what do you mean by front?

No, I think that's impossible since the particles are moved not by the clock
value but by an I/O system. But of course you can use regular post-rendering
motion blur...
