Yeah that reflection stuff is awesome...

I believe that is environment mapping.

Here is a video of it in use:

i was trying to replicate the effect using just a Torus,

but in the pop node why is the $NPT

and how you were able to make the Group Sphere affect the points?

Thanks =).

Very nice example Igor. Thanks for posting it.

pelos, $NPT is there so that the Source node generates as many particles as the number of points the geometry source has. The variable $NPT means "Number of points".

As for the sphere group, I just checked the scene fluid palace v2 and can´t find any sphere group there. What are you referring to?

there is a group node after the particles nodes, but i understand now, is to activate the aanoise, wind, so the particles start moving, this groups is set to Sphere and this are the properties that are animated, now i understand. in that way you can leave the particles statics and when you want the effect start, just move it =).

Thanks for the explanation =).
