This effect started out with some great style frames created by Black Logic.

The ice layer breaking apart at the beginning of this demo actually has an original style frame texture mapped onto its 3D surfaces.

This project makes liberal use of Houdini particals for animating the broken chunks of ice, and transparent/refractive/reflective meta-balls for the drop "crown" effect.

Special thanks to Bob Tabor of Bates for sticking with us during those all-nighters to get the liquid crown effect looking just right.
