Gotta love ICE for this sort of stuff – pull up closest location, and normal, tangent, position, whatever – and massage the particles or mesh during /before/after the simulation. Fluid shaper, push and pull along normals or towards a collision location, or in our outside another object, like a collider or container, cut some bits away with a volume,... Perhaps blend a modeled/animated mesh with together with the simulated mesh in places where you need a very specific result, and that the simulation doesn’t easily give you. Or add some non-simulated particles together with the simulated ones in places to influence the generated mesh or ...
Sorry couldn’t resist – but hey – it’s still the softimage list, right?

I used a texture deformer, with no texture, just a white color and set my strength to -1. Seems to work pretty well too.

I'm thinking something like the softimage push deformer would work. Is there something like this in Maya, and would it work on a bifrost mesh? Thanks guys G
