I'm doing something wrong, or it needs some serious work to be useful for
anything...

Haha, nice. It looks like the former problem, although it's odd that it
translated properly.

I never tried fluid sim as it's about animation and I just don't do animation.
But here's a question that may be or not relevant to this: did you parent the
fluid object to its container? That is, select the fluid object, then the
container and then pressed CTRL+P?

Looks way better, though it doesn't attempt to move the liquid along with the
container as you do. It seems the simulation is about a fluid filling a
container, not about the fluid automatically following the container's motion.
For that, you need parenting.
BTW, this is mighty cool:

That's not how it works. (Indeed, I'm not even sure what you mean by
"container"? The pitcher, or the domain?)
The problem I had was I let the pitcher (an obstacle) touch the boundary of
the domain, which apparently crashed out the fluid simulation without
actually giving any sort of error message. It does look funky, for sure.
> Looks way better,
Probably because he spent the hours of tweaking to make it look nice, while
I'm still at getting it to look at all. :-) Once you have the fluid
simulated in a mesh, you can start adding all the materials and lights and
stuff you need.

That was basically what I was testing - whether it would work with moving
obstacles. Otherwise, Sunday breakfast might be a PITA to animate.
> For that, you need parenting.
No, it's nothing to do with parenting. Otherwise, it wouldn't pour from
container to container, for example. Parenting is good for armatures and IPO
curves, and if you try to do the physics engine with bits inside other bits
without parenting them ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjbBcqiK3FU ) then
the physics engine gets rather unhappy, but it's not to do with the fluid
sim. (Indeed, I think the fluid sim was probably done as a completely
separate script kind of thing and later incorporated, since it works rather
differently than all the other physics kinds of stuff out there, in terms of
parameters and such.)

Yes it is.

I'm always pleased when my mistakes serve as a source of amusement for
others. :-)
