Mess in fluid

[cosku]

As a general advice, don't rely on texture to add detail to your fluid, but instead try
to push the detail with resolution. Texture should be added for a comparably subtle
effect in the end, otherwise you'll run into all sorts of troubles, like the texture
stretching, etc.

Can you be more precise in what are you aiming to get, anyway .. I'm sure you can benifit from the fluids presets built into Maya to ease your tweaking path.

Pushing the fluid resolution can give awesome results ... . but you'll pay for that in simulation and render time. Try to have the lowest resolution while taking advantage of the textures as much as you can. I think it may take you some time to tweak the textures, but the result is more than worth it. Because sometimes having a high resolution simulation is not practical for production at all.
