I do far more stills than I do animations. Particle can be really helpful for making realistic looking effects like smoke, fluids and magic. I've not get any really good examples of what VueDynamics can do in a still yet I'm working on a volcano erupting with smoke and magma but it isn't in a fit state to show. My one big tip so far for using it for stills would be to set up and run a simulation for an effect you want to use in a still then find a frame where it gives the effect that you want and with that frame selected destroy the animation. This leaves the objects just where they were but improves Vue's performance a lot.
