Hi everyone,

I wish to make a plane with random drops of water.
The random insue is about translating drops and scalind them.

I'm a 'rookie' and I've reached so far by reading documentation,
but I can't go any further.

Random translating is ok, but I can't change the shape of the drops randomly.

Any help from the experts :-) whould be apreciated.


Thanks in advence
Mr Loft
