This is an example of using Kineme Particles inside of a GLSL shader setup... in this case the shape was informed by the desaxismundi maths surfaces port to QC by toneburst. Instead of using GLSL grids in an effort to accomplish solid shapes, I used the shader portion to show how you can basically "fill a jar" with particles, so to speak...

Must experiment with this technique.

If you are going to mess with this, two suggestions... try many different particle setups, and also play with the "emitter" value.
I was going to make a giant desaxismundi particle comp, but it's pointless until the new Particle Tools comes out, because I was going to put parameters to trigger various particle "types"... and I don't want to have to go back and re-edit it (you know what a job that would be/is!!!)
Oh, and thanks for the credits! Must add credits to the clips I've so far managed to upload (really must do some more).

Variables like the wind/gust frequencies and strengths, damping, gravity, size multiplication, lengths, the position of the particles within a 3D transform while inside of the shader... all have a tremendous effect. So it would be really unwieldy to figure out what inputs should be published.
I made an audio reactive shader/particle comp today that is pretty cool looking... I think that these shader particle things are almost best on a particle type/shader type, case by case basis.
As far as credits... I just noted that feature last week, and am still getting used to it. I'm always trying to upload something before dashing off to do something else, so in reality it just takes too much time to fill out every field on these pages sometimes! I always have tried in the past to note credits in the explanation and tags, and now I am going "oh, one more thing to fill out!" :o)
The thing that is unsatisfying is that apparently, one has to be a member of Vimeo to be listed in the credits! Soooo.... I am almost leaning back to giving all credits in tags and the body description.
The thing about a straightforward credits column is that I'm starting to find it hairy when it is appropriate to give credits or not! I would hate to give you, for example, credit on something because I used a macro, but for you to be going "man, I wish he hadn't have credited me on that!".
