Thanks Nick, I'll go looking for realflow to give it try now. I have
decent idea of what can be done with RBDs now in v4 and they are good
but a sea of intercolliding elements and standin objects for a immerrsed
swimming character are too much for it I think.

Realflow would be the way to go if you want to animate lots of balls, do
it as fat liquid particles (un-compressable) then bring the particles
into XSI and use instances...
If they're not balls RealFlow also handles RBDs and you'd get accurate
collisions... the particle option is good if you're not too fussed about
geometry interpenetrating, but then you'd get a pretty good rough you
could then tweak after plotting each objects transforms...
If you're on the Beta list you'd have a pretty good idea then of what
can be done with the new RBDs... :)
