You've got a (far) better CPU than I, though only half the RAM. Unfortunately, none of them are really worth posting, but I can give the paint splat idea a try tonight.

I am so impressed at how far things have come. Last night was a reality check of sorts to see if it was a feasible option for the sort of splatter effects I was looking for. I was running the simulation on my laptop -- which is a 2.8 ghz P4 with 512mb ram. I think I was topping out at a resolution of about 125... though this may very well be a ram/storage related issue. I can forsee running it at 192 would increase the complexity of the shapes quite considerably -- but when it's taking 20 minutes to churn out a single, difficult to preview frame of fluid interaction, is it really worth it to fake it? ;) I'd love to see some of your renders of Blender fluid if you have them. :) Oh yeah, the progress they’ve made at free software fluid simulation is fantastic.

I admit it's a little difficult to get fine details with it, but the particle sytem may go a long way towards that. The best I can do without crashing my system is a resolution of about 192. At that point though, it's a set-it-up-and-watch-a-movie-on-tv sort of thing. What kind of hardware are you working with?
