That looks really cool Rob, my intended effect is just a guy washing his hands and getting the soap to spread while his hands rub each other, i kind of used a mix of 2 techniques, one creating an approximation weightmap between each hand to generate foam where they rub/touch, then spawning new bubbles, by bursting a bubble when it reaches the end of its life, generating 2 or 3 other new bubbles in its place and so on. Now what im missing is for them to move in a kind of flow (doesn't need much) which basically i could try to implement the force trick u used.
So basically what u did was to create a vector flow (Tangent map) for the body surface, then use it to move the particles as a force, right? Enveloping the curves seems to be a nice alternative way to make the ice tree simpler i guess, well done.
