3D Question
Hi All :
What I need is for someones help either in the short or maybe even in the long term ! My project is to create a device with can produce bubble rings on screen.

This websites shows them in action from a guy who has made a device to produce the effect.
What I want is to make the device ON SCREEN, in 3D, and then watch its results on screen in order to see if it is possible !
Hope someone can help - more points to come !

Sounds like you want a physics engine more than a 3D modeler. In any case, im not sure what your question is.

O - Well how do I go about that ?

By on screen do you mean as a graphic, or to use in video, or to use in a 3D environment?
To see the result youre looking at a highly complex physics engine. Probably not something youre going to find unless you get into very complex and either expensive or proprietary software built for hydrodymanic physicists.
Both 3D Studio Max and Maya (not sure about Lightwave) have incredible physics engines built in to them, but not for anything specific like this, although there might be a plugin.
Im sure they have great physics engines as far as gravity, collisions etc but not for hydrodynamic vacuums and bubbles.

So, the big question is, A: Where could I go for help, and B: How hard would it be to write a program to do it for me ?

What I would be changing is, the size of the device, and the amount of air being pumped in. I am really very open any ideas. If you know of a company, which would be able to help me, free only because I can't afford to pay them as I have no money tree in my backyard, then that would be fantastic... :)
