I don't use that. I use trace only. The reason is that to find out whether a
particle is inside an object or not is of no use if one doesn't know where
to move it to and how to align them. I could however remove such particles
so they don't get in the way.

Not enough blobby I think...

Maybe. Is it because the water looks too "wild" on the flat parts?

Err... Whoops!

No. I considered it, but it would require another layer of complexity, and
the data arrays would become huge.

When my particle system including documentation and everything is finished.
I expect it to be released sometime this decade.
