Yes, it does help, thank you. As this is a personal long term project (a hobby that has commercial potential) I'm in no rush to complete it. I'll start with the basics like scene creation, go on to simple animation and then try to get realistic water effects. I've already spent several hundred dollars on characters and props already for my two projects. I'd sure be willing to purchase any product that allowed my characters realistic/semi-realistic interaction with water. It would, however, have to be suitable for animation purposes. Concerning my project, it's an interactive fantasy island with an adventurous, intrigueing story line and a fair bit of nudity. It's a little like Fantasy Island (tv series).
