Hi all - I've been looking for a range of water/liquid props (jets, sprays, splashes, fountain streams etc) for a while. Most of the ones I've come across are fairly decent depictions of liquid captured by a very high speed camera, but don't look right in terms of how the eye actually sees them. ...So, I'm thinking about taking the 'plunge' and trying to model some myself.  Any thoughts on the best (free or cheap) 3d modelling app to use or pointers to tutorials would be really helpful! :)

Sorry for another plea for help!
