Hi.
I want to create a slimy, jelly looking liquid coming out from a tap. 
I couldn't decide which way should i do this ?

Can i make it with iClone ? With morph creator maybe ?

This is just an expression of my opinion but I have been a software developer for about 40 years and the most important thing I have personally learnt is to never say something can't be done because I don't have the most advanced tools. So I am doing some experiments now to see if it really is possible to do liquid flowin iClone with the capabilities that it has. I think it is.

Anyway here is my step 1 in the video at the bottom.
I spent just under 2 hours creating the models in Blender, exporting them individually as OBJ files, converting the primary OBJ files to iclone props, loading them into iClone, adding the extra OBJ files to the primary iClone props to convert them to morph animatable props, Animating this scene, exporting its video from iclone, uploading the video to uTube and creating this post on the forum.

This is quite basic because I wanted to see if my idea had potential. Now I am going to improve the shapes of the models, improve the shape of the water splashes create animatable textures for the water so the water looks to flow better. I am also going to look into seeing if the idea I have for letting a character put his hands into the water pull some water out to wash his face and let the water fall from his hands and face back into the sink
 I am also going to work on creating the jelly liquid flow from a bottle into a container and see if I can animate a character making something from the jelly liquid with his hands.

I will post those other steps and indicate how long it took.
I can't compare it with how easy or quick it would be with PhysX water flow capabilities because I have never used it. But iClone does not have it and so far I am finding that using morph animations for this is not that difficult and doesn't take too much time....Only stating my opinion. Others may or may not think the same and that is fine.
