This is one of the first results of my particle simulator program. (the 
one written in C++, not the POV script)
It outputs an include file containing a bunch of macro calls, so it is 
possible to change the way the particles are used by simply changing the 
macro. At this stage, my program takes a file as input and can have 
multiple emitters of different types. I plan on adding things like 
gravity sources as well as a simple file editor.(although the files are 
text based, they are not easy to read. I may make a simple scripting 
language, but that will come later...)
I haven't gotten good looking smoke with a reasonable render speed yet, 
but right now I am focusing on the simulator itself. When finished, it 
will simulate liquids as well as atmospheric effects.

How many objects are we looking at here ?

Somewhere around 4080 spheres for the particles.

This looks to have great potential.
Thanks for all the hard work, Chris.
