Mini tut

 

to make animated material flow as above in curved pipe you make the pipe straight vertical (or horizontal ) in the model window I added some bones to make it easy to curve when set in the chor

arrange model in chor I did same model in two different positions

the model has material I want to animate applied and in the chor you key frame the vertical ( or horizontal ) translation of the material ( check project ) in my case the vertical position at frame 30 for each model being animated

then render

 

 

any questions .....?

 

hopefully this is useful

It's very cool that A:M materials can survive that sort of thing.
