Here's another animation, this time done with the MegaPOV 1.0 mechsim patch.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of mass/environment intersections, which I can't work
out how
to avoid. Possibly a smaller step_count, but it's quite small already and I'm a little
tired
of running the simulation.

Still, it's quite pleasing to look at, I think.

I suppose you use an object based environment - this is a quite natural
effect then.  When a mass hits the surface at a shallow angle there is no
way of determining the intersection precisely except doing an awful lot of
tests.  Function based environments do not have this problem.

Yes, looks nice.

Yes, you're right. This was my first object as environment anim. I shall try it as a
function
based env and isosurface next.

Thanks for your other help BTW.

All the best,
