This is a little scene I rendered in Maya, render time was 1 hour for a single frame shot at 2048x2048 with double Anti-Aliasing and 10 Ray Trace samples for shadows. I was going to do Final Gathering instead of increased AA but the lighting was off because of the reflective textures.

Here's a shot of the particle mesh.

Here's also a video shot, took 3-4 hours to render, 400 frames.

i dont like how the camera angles move so much, but its cool, try to make a volcano erruption!

The method used on that was just normal particles with deforming physics, a volcano would be much harder since it would have liquid physics instead of gas physics.
