Fountain : help

[Pullakk]

I need to incorporate some small water jet type fountains into a video I am working on. Once upon a time I used to use Archvision RPCs but these are not an option with Octane (I guess). Any quick suggestions?
Should I be teaching myself how to use particles?
Any ready animated products anyone can suggest?

this test used the same engine so I assume it would work, try contacting them.

i've emailed them but no reply.

i guess it is worth buying one and trying....price is fair.

And zero support...their email seems to be dead.

update: I have made contact with the 3dAliens...and they turn out to be rather friendly.
Rendering a test animation of fountain right now.
