A car, a wet road and lots of spray

Hmm you could try blobby particles, look at this tutorial and see if it has anything you could use.

for a single frame, you could use a particle flow along a surface and/or along curves to simulate that sort of parthing. if you wanted the small particles simulated aswell you could use some MEL to pick randomly pick up particles based on some locators and divert them with another goal. the particle collision event editor is also your friend here, as well as some mid point goals and turbulance to throw in more streams etc.

i don't really every feel happy with the results from blobby particles per se. i'd be thinking about taking an particle pass to use for displacement in PS, or something like mr. mercury in AE.

thanks for your help :)

i finally used a simple surface emitter with some air and turbulence fields and randomized emission rates.

i´ve attached a quick hardware rendered particles pass. note that this is just a basis to work on, nothing final ;)

well, if it is nothing final i think you could get a great shot, it looks really well.

Thats a good start!
Dont be afraid to blur the hell out of things. Also, try adding some blobby particles like mentioned before. You will need to blur the blobbies in your compositing software...but they would look great. A work around to using a compositing program (if you want to do it all in maya) is to instance spheres to the blobby particles and do a 2d motion blur on it when rendering.

Good Luck!

can u post more pic na how your doing this porj nice sutff

[axiomatic]

looks good. if you put the ridge of the car in and turn on collisions you should be able to get them following the geometry in runnels too :)
