Hi Katie,
speaking of volume rendering in Softimage you might also want to look into
emFluids, which is still Beta
but gives you ultimate control. People are using it successfully in
production already: http://www.mootzoid.com/plugin/emfluid4 (Scroll down
to see Version 5). If you are looking for a point renderer specifically
you might find emRPC (same Mootzoid homepage like above) a useful, and
well ICE-integrated alternative to Krakatoa.
The same goes for Exocortex' Fury for point rendering and maybe Slipstream
for fluid simulation. I don't know whether the latter is available for
Softimage 2014 but there is a 30 day trial version up for download.
