So ok i put in a fountain played with size of it. Now i want to make it look alive not dead.

So i start playing witht he emitter and all the png/jpgs listed. I play with scales and all the technical parts.
I put in water and all i can get is squares jumping around upwardly i got them to go sideways but .. how
in the world can i get them to move down ward if the x y z is not letting me move past 1.0 i think it was.
or -1 thing was as i got the things to turn sideways i could in no way get them to turn upside down so
that it looked flowing.

Now Im not sure if its possible and it does have a shimmer affect but its not what i really want.
The emitter is fun to play around with im sure ill use it other ways.

Another question would be If i found a shimmering sort of water animated pic some place on net hosted it
on my own host then link it to a url as image on webpage .. what is the settings i need to allow it to
use the animation showing. ? I tried to figure it out but just didnt work or click.
If i could get this to work i wouldnt need to try to force the emitter to do something i dont really want.

Any help is appreciated. I was even thinking of using animated fire .. but i saw that i cant make a .gif show up
can you not do animated in jpg... im not fully aware of possibilities as i have an old version of psp.

I would be happy to help others set up some fun things once i figure out how the animation could be attached
like on a sign .. Thanks thanks thanks for any help or advise.

I got bubbles to FALL downward, using the attach emitter, and it worked for all the other textures as well.
you just set x and z to zero, and make y -1.
but I can't find a texture that simulates water, but that will make it flow down.

I didn't like the shower available to small. So I created one. Trick in making water fall is the patameters below.

Shower water
Water

Texture File: aqwl_01b.jpg

Particle Life: 4
Emitter: 9999
Particles per sec: 75
Speed: 200
Start Scale: 0.2
End Scale: 0.2
% Life Fade In: 10
% Life Fade Out: 10
Enable Fade: Y
Alpha Scale: 0.3
Spawn cube X: 90
Spawn cube Y: 75
Spawn cube Z: 0
Normal X: 0
Normal Y: -1
Normal Z: 0

For a fountain you would need one pushing water up a little then one from that point flowing down. (up and down is controlled by normal y: 1 for up -1 for down. Spawn cube changes spread. Particle life the distance. Hope this helps.
