What add-ons do you recomend for complete to simulate effects you would do with fluids in unlimited? e.g water, oceans, clouds and explosions. Also what add-ons for Fur and hair?

This realflow looks the best for water. Has anyone here used it?

EDIT: What about shave and haircut, has anyone here used that?

Just cloth left to find.

I've read reviews about Realflow and they seem to be one of the best external fluid plugins in the market.

For hair & fur, you'd probably want Joe Alter Shave & Haircut.

And for cloth, you'd want Syflex Cloth simulator, best cloth simulator in the market.

Wish i had the time. Between now and my interview at uni all my spare time is to get my drawing skills up to scratch. I went to some open days this week and found i'd really underestimated how important being able to draw well and quick is for a computer animation course.

I can give you some email addresses of lecturers there if you want? I know the head of the masters courses and he's a really nice guy. PM me if you want it.
