Well, it's rendered in POV, so it 'is' POV at work! Is it wrong to use data
from another source, and incorporated it into my scene? I do understand what
you are saying though....

Yes, it's an amazing program that simulates liquid dynamic stuff far better
than I could ever hope to, as I can't code as well as people like yourself,
who's work I greatly admire.

Not at all. Your comments are appreciated. I regarded the project as an
option for others to use an external prog should they wish to do so. BTW,
Realflow is actually a stand-alone program, not a plug-in, though it could
be argued that I used it as a plug-in for POV :-).

Granted, there are POV purists who would regard anything other than pure
hand coding to be heresy, and there are others who make use of all the tools
at their disposal, be they POSER, or MORAY or other peoples particle systems
etc.

Thanks :-)

All the best,
