Hi Iīve just got an idea to a short animation film and I would like you people to help me acomplished that, I donīt have much experience in the 3d yet, so Iīm gonna need a lot of help.
The first thing I want to know is how to create a pipe that shows a flushing of a toilet after taking crap, of course the pipe is transparent and it got corners so to see the things properly, I donīt know how to make the water flow properly, so if anybody would be so kind to help me I would really apreciate, thanks.

A simple particle system (setup with deflectors for the pipes) would probably be the easiest. Add some motion blur and you have splashing water.

On the other hand, water that flows through a pipeline most likely has a more solid form (i mean, not like a stream of particles/drops). So you would probably want to use a plugin (realflow or something alike) to simulate the water going down the drain.. It could ofcourse also be animated by hand, but that's not something I'd advice ;)

good luck

Gee, what a way to jumpstart your animation career!

Look at FFD's - they can ba a bit tuff to animate in complex motions but are quite versitle.
