Mr C, The docs suck. Index is sparse; it and TROC refernce only in section #s. sections are 15-20 pags long in some cases and the sec # only appears at the beginning of the section, so you do LOTs of page flipping to find a refernce. Tutorial examples often don't match the tutoriual. Tutorials often don't match the program. To do the liquid thing (I asked them to show me that modelling process at NAB) you use collision detection event, but then you must create RPL scritps to react to the collision. So get you fluid dynamic s book out and start writing force-field equations, an RPL script to apply them the the B-Spline mesh that defines the liquid glob. IOTW, no physics degree, don't bother with this program. If you are not ready to write equations of motion etc, it has little advantage over other 3D packages. wmc – via Autopilot!
