Drops of fluid.

Drops of fluid.

Hey there - happy new year guys. Hope most of you got a couple of days recovery
!!

Could anyone help me out with a problem. I am trying to animate a drop of fluid
running down a can.
I have managed to get the can looking very cold and fresh with particles and
sprite shaders. I now need a drop to run down the can- would be nice if they
could interact with the particles (*ala fluid)
Would anyone have suggestions? At the moment I am thinking of animating a sub D
model of a drop and doing a few passes in 3D then paint out the drops that
would be absorbed by the single drop in post.
Obviously this is going to be challenging as there is no blending for the drops
.perhaps have a couple of 3D models and boolean them as the main drop runs
through....

Would be really nice if metaclay was available but I didn't open that can of
worms!!

Appreciate any help or comments...
