As you can see I added some straws but they don't rotate as what you would expect following the stream, instead you'll need to use RBD Grains.
I tried creating the same effect with vellum but failed, the isolated grains keep jumping here and there, and also it doesn't clump beautifully as with grain, once the constraint are broken in vellum they wont comeback again unless you manually added them through a sop solver inside the dop network, but never tried that.

Well at first it didn't give stable results, but the good news is that there is a vellum version coming and the sim time difference is huge in favor of vellum of course. It took me a while to get to behave like the original grain solver.

Just curious, but why not use Vellum grains?
