To add to this, is it possible also to have for instance...
A Spherical domain, similar to the event horizon of a black hole.
At this perimeter of an invisible sphere we can control the thickness and within this "skin" thickness the particles ONLY appear there.

This way we could have a sphere (or any [predefined] shape) with a controllable skin wherein the particle emissions flourish but NOT within it OR outside it.

+1 to all the above.

Lots of good comments and suggestions, and I agree there's a lot of room to improve the particles and emitters.

One point I question, though, is the value of "triggers."  You mention having an emitter start when an avatar gets within a certain proximity.  I'm sure it could be handy, but is the added complexity (for the programmers and for the user) worthwhile?  Since it's iClone, and not a game, we control where the avatars go and when they go there.  Manually turning the emitter on at the appropriate time seems very trivial.  I can also see emitter-to-emitter interactions (triggers), although interesting, compounding in complexity and quickly leading to unexpected behavior.

I would like to see things like the volumetric control, and "collision" between particles and objects.

The "attract" and "repel" controls sound like useful additions to "up."  That sounds like a great idea.

I agree with much of what you said, but wanted to share a different *opinion* on a small portion of it.
