Hello,

Looking to animate clear syringe with fluid being forced out into clear coiled medical tubing.
Dont know if I should create the fluid as many particles using an emmiter, or if there is another trick to doing this.
Fluid dynamics not too important, as long as it appears fluid is traveling thorugh tubing.

Would it be possible to key a small cylinder inside the tubing and deform/twist it along a spiral to give the same effect?

Thanks.

I am not sure if this will help but you might be able to make the plunger part of the syringe a passive rigid body that way the particle would not penetrate it.  I am not sure this will work but it might so why not try it.
