hey guys wassup!  
can i use a sequence of image in maya fluids? i've read some tutorial about fluids but i learn only how to get the fluid to emit smoke using only one frame. i want it to emit continously using sequencial files. i've tried using particles on surface but i can't get it to look like a real smoke.  
any work around is ok with me tnx to all.
