Hi, thank you very much, I appreciate it.
About the material and geometry, just above I showed an example of how I made the geometry for the ice, if you pay attention, at the end I add color to the geometry using a node in Houdini that calculates the curvature and then I use blur.
This is a natural way to make these places more “transparent” but of course this is a fake that conveys the impression that the edges of the ice are more transparent.
In the material I add vertex color to the subsurface and also add soft noise that moves along the crystal creating a soft light inside, for the UV I used the triplanar technique, although I have a general UV on the geometry.

Ok. I think I see now. Thank you. I didn’t realize the first particle had forward velocity at 1st.
Yes it is really a good mechanism with Attribute Reader and you can do a lot of things with it
I uploaded it to the marketplace, in case someone needs it

I love this so much! there’s something about it that really inspires me, I want to try something similar out, thanks for positing the process!
It’s stunning, really good animation and timing. Many thanks for this post! Really helpful
