water generator?

[Ravager]

is there some way to generate water or liquids to make a stream or fountian exe, like a sprite, only in water form and not "particles"?

[Chad_Hunt]

nope, you can get pretty good results using an animated displacment map. I actually formed a stream with ripples in the model then applied the animated displacement map to it and it came out not to bad.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "like a sprite....and not "particles"", most 3D renderings of water flowing is done with some sort of particle system, including sprites. Using dynamics and collision detection, you can make a stream of sprites or particles behave like a fluid in turbulent flow. Have you checked out #208 Particle Waterfall by Michael S. Flynn on the ARM?
