blender fluid text in 2.49 plus some cool inspeck stuff

I'll lay off the blender tutorials after they seem better answererd on the net.... until then... blender fluid text is really fun and cool, however getting it to work correctly is a task that's been nagging me and my student at http://computers4kids.net for the last two weeks.... well the first real decent news is that in response to several threads out there you don't need to up the bake resolution to 300 (requiring several gigs of ram) you MAY however need to enter every letter as an individual mesh.... it's a chore, however the results are great...

The leaf in the picture is actually an inspeck 3d pic of a piece of lost styrofoam sculpture made a few weeks ago... am very pleased with the outcome, however there seems to be some artifact in there somewhere....

hope to update this video once the artifacts are gone (and once I figure out how to get the alpha chanel ipo's a little nicer....
