Wow, thanks :-)

Yes that would be good, I agree. However, as far as the simulation is
concerned, each 'marble' component is actually a fluid particle rather than
a sphere.. they just appear that way due to my blob settings. Indeed, the
whole 'component construction' came about through me messing with the blob
settings... it was originally intended to be a solid mass of 'stuff'.
However, I'm sure that by adept manipulation of the various parameters, the
'marbles' would slide much further.
