Here is another version of this file. The idea is
to place tiny spheres on the surface of a cylinder
and then rotate the cylinder to animate the drops.
I started off with a cylinder that looked like a paper
towel roll, but the right answer turned out to be a
tall thin shape like a ferris wheel. I also duplicated
the pattern many times around the rim so the drum
only needs to roll a few degrees for a repeat. This
solved many problems at once.
The attached file shows three concentric cylinders
spinning at different speeds to give an interesting
depth effect. I am sure more can be done to clean
this up, but at least now I have my geometry right
and the result is looking good (it is still rendering
but I hope to see the full movie within an hour or
so).
I see an intersection between this object and an
interesting shape (like a glass of water) to place
animated bubbles anywhere in a scene. Maybe
you see even better possibilities...
