Never thought of removing the "shadowed" particles, great idea. If ray sop its heavy may be we could use an intersect function instead in a wrangler, would be that faster?
//input1: particles; input2:cam; input3: collision geo
vector camP = point(1, "P", 0);
vector dir = camP - v@P;
vector isect_pos;
float isect_u, isect_v;
int inter = intersect(2, v@P, dir, isect_pos, isect_u, isect_v);
if(inter!=-1){
removepoint(0, @ptnum);
}
