I need to make/animate flowing water in with sceneKit inside Xcode, but i can’t come up with anything except a variation of the fire particle system [with some attributes changed {color to blue, birth rate up real high, etc}]. The only thing is, it doesn’t really of flow or look exactly like water!!! [You would think with how advanced SceneKit is, that they would have a built in water particle system], but any way. If using Unity is on your mind, you can forget it, the main things I don’t like about it is first you have to learn how to use it (takes a LONG time; believe me I am quite well versed in Blender, and it takes some real determination, and consistency to get it down-pat). I also don’t lie how you have to either put up with that weird splash screen before every app you use it with [which is a big “I’m am quite unprofessional” warning], or you have to fork out $100 just to get the dumb splash screen out of the way!!! Any way, does anyone have a work-around to this problem, or a way to create realistic flowing water with the existing particle systems?..You would think there would be a way to make your app with the **_free_** unity account but hack or just make it where the “made with unity” splash isn’t there, you know…

**_Any and all help is appreciated!_**

Hey, were you ever able to figure this out? I’m struggling with the same issue right now.
