i have created an ice effect using maya fluid by setting color,incandcence,texture etc..

qustion1: using the texture just get a rand ice shape,if i want to control the shape of the ice,how can i do that?
can i assign the fluid to a poly model shader?
or is there another way to get this?

qustion2: if i just assign the fluid to a particle as a shader,i can make different particle to give out a different texture effect by using the particle sampler node.connect a particlePP attribute to the "texture scale"and "texture origin",but i hope there is a "texture rotation",i want particles to rotate?how could i get that?

thanks for any advice...

in my dreams there's a rotate, and Duncan said once that I should request it since it shouldn't be hard to implement... I didn't request it out of lazyness
