How do you make water come down or out of a model? :confused:

The best and easiest way I can think of would be to model the water as a semi-transparent ribbon shape or cylinder and animate it to look like it was pouring it.  Blender can do some sophisticated fluid simulations with its physics engine, but it's way beyond anything useful for Glest.  Maybe you can also supplement it with some particles in Megaglest (and soon in GAE) to look like drops of water splashing around.

You're welcome.  By the way, it might be easier to control the water with shape keys instead of an armature, if you have it pouring up over something, or pouring along a certain path.  Just a thought.
