I just have to say dude I think the stuff you do Rocks. The Ba essentials shader pack you release are awesome and i salute you for them. We only just started and very small but we use softimage here and if it wasnt for kind awesome TD like you being so generous it would be harder to do alot of things! thats why the soft community rocks.
unfortunately i have not had the need to use/ nor am i an expert on this type of render your fluid shader, but from what i have seen, seems very impressive. just wanted to give ya a virtual hi five cus your post didnt seem to happy. i hope you get more feedback and all your efforts are worth it. have a good rest of the day dude! on a side note I have worked for a few soft houses in london and they have used the ba shader pack so its bad that you have not had any responses or work to show.
