hey guys,is there any way to make 1 single drop of water(ok anything liquid)to fall on to a plane?i tried by creating the emiter and moving it up at thr container,i played the animation and set an initial state,but the emiter never stops emiting.when i set the density with keyframes from 1 to 0 it doesn`t emit but it removes density?any solutions(if you understoud what i am saying).can it be done with fluids?or particles is the only way to achive that?
thx for any reply!

I'm trying the same thing... Any luck yet?
I have found that if you play with the buoyancy and the velocity scale, that I can get part of the "blob" to detach itself from the rest of the "main blob", but it quickly shrinks and disappears as soon as it detaches. I can't find a setting to disable this and don't know why it's happening. I hope it's not a limitation. How's your progress with this?
