Sorry for my short reaction. I had very little time to read and asnwer this thread. There used to be a water-splash object in the freestuff section. I can't seem to find it though. Anyway, the big high ring you made should usually be lower and have 'spikes' where the droplets splash up. Then the actual little droplets can just be spheres. I'll see if I have the freebee somewhere on my Bryce-station. If I find it I'll post a DEM and a wireframe view.
