I am doing water-like fluid simulating. I am using grayscale image to
produce the initial shape of water, but the images i used lead to spherical
or cubic block shape(i created them using photoshop or window's
painter,etc.). And it is too difficult for me to create images which can
produce more natural shapes, like water droplet etc. So i am thinking
whether there is a good website providing such kind of images

Or if there is not, pls give me some other advice~

You might want to try planetGenesis

http://planetgenesis.sf.net

It's a free terrian generator that produces
16 bit greyscale PNG's amongst other things.
Some of the noises might make decent wave shapes.

thx, and pG is cool. But the tool is not easy for me to use, i am not good
at image processing. It seems that i'd better to get such grayscale images
for internet, anybody can give me such informations? thx in advance~
