Thanks Flingster. Metaballs are not a problem I just wonder how to put them into a TP emitter, adding a metaballed sphere to the Pshape node doesn't do it and the Maxon tuts don't cover using them!

The main problem with the original C4d emitter is the fact that the metaballs create a hug thick blob on a friction object rather than a thin liquid like one whatever the particle size...unless I scale the whole object in the Y, but then I can't the flow of liquid until it hits the floor. Wonder if using a deflector set to 0 would be better?

Would love to be around more and would love to get more practise with 3D but working as a Web Designer and attending college full time is making it hard! So much to learn with every damn update and I am not even on 8.5 yet....

Place the particle geometry object as a child of the metaball object.
