I was thinking along those lines, but rather than deleting those particles, add a negative force along their velocity vector (= a force opposing their movement). That should slow them down effectively. Unless lagoa doesn’t like you playing around with forces like that? haven’t needed to use it in a while.

Is there a simple way to limit this? I've tried with air damping to no effect. It seems you can't just hard limit the vel either, since it has to come after the simulation node and therefore doesn't really seem to do anything. The sim is allready very slow motion (150fps) and at 30 subframes, which helps, but still getting a lot of these really high velocity particles. Any magic tricks I should know about in terms of limiting these? Any help really appreciated. Jules
