Why not grab a bucket of paint and a friend and take your own shots?

I thought about that. But I'm a computer geek and I don't have any real friends, they are all virtual :)
I think that is the only option. I can't seem to find any. ANd I think people think I want the 2d paint splatters. But thanks.

Not paint splatter. But thanks for trying. I have a ton of these. I need 3D looking paint.

Check out this tutorial on cold water drops. I believe the technique used here will get you to where you want to be. You just have to apply the principles to a shape that looks like what you're after.

Ah yeah sorry. I remember that tutorial now and if I remember right they actually photographed the paint. Anyway if the "real" version isn't an option you might consider trying a 3D app. Several of them can do decent liquids now, but I have no idea what kind of difficulty is involved in that endeavor.

Thanks guys. I think the 3D app idea might be my best shot. But I may go to the hardware store and give it a shot. I'm buying a nice camera this weekend. I'll post my results!

The 3D app aproach would be better for you in my opinion, the paint would be a big mess and it would take twice the amount of time...

Might have a go at a similar effect when i get in from work and see how hard it is... been going more and more 3D stuff just lately :P

I fancy doing the actual paint idea. Hmmm, wonder what the Mrs. will say. On second thought....
