I'm needing to show a water feature (fountain) in a pond. You know the kind that just shoots up and out to help aerate the water. Nothing too fancy. I use to use an image sequence, I've used an OBJ sequence from Blender before too.

Was wondering if there is anything I could do with Octane that would be better. What direction should I look into, any thoughts or ideas of how to make something look great!? Thanks.

If you do not own Hurleyworks UP, you would be surprised just how much you can accomplish with just animated displacements on specular mat, and possibly some particle droplets. I have done similar stuff this way, and if compositing, it looks pretty real when you have motion blur all of the place...

Here is UP link in case this one flew beneath your radar: http://hurleyworks.com/lightwave-plugins/
