around the middle part of the tank? Wrap deformer? or are you trying to include the caps of the tank too?

try setting the solver Integration Method to Midpoint and crank the Oversampling, be sure the collision eps is no bigger than the initial distance between the objects – if there is no distance between the objects pull them a little bit apart.

that should work, try it in another scene (using 3 editable cubes or something like that) does it still not work?

play with the Sea Level and Y Size or add a sphere in the same place and scale it so it has mountains growing from it or do a sub-poly displacement of the sphere with a good bump map.

click on the blue square (for incoming info) or red square (for outgoing info) of the top bar of the node and choose the property you want from the list that pops up.

have you tried the Spherical option in the Landscape?

check out the TP Standard Emitter in the Content Browser (assuming you loaded in the TP stuff) you need to feed the particle feed from you PStorm or PBorn node (don’t know which is used in the Tornado tute) into a PShape node, to assign the the object to use and a PGroup node which really only needs to be connected as the default All group is good enough for simple things. And you need a Particle Geometry object in the from Objects/Thinking Particles.

check out the Preferences/Import/Export/Adobe Illustrator prefs. I haven’t tried whole lines of text but perhaps one of those settings might help (others are likely to actually know)

you could try making the parts editable, Functions/Connect then bridging the parts together by hand.
You can also try building it completely differently (there is rarely only one way) by taking a cube and extruding and beveling to get the shape inside a Hypernurb. Also remember with any symmetrical object you only need to build half of it (makes the details in the handle (from the first picture easier to do).Here’s a bad example done quickly and not right but with better attention to detail could be another way to do it, with the advantage that smooth transitions from one surface to another are usually easiest when the mesh is one piece. Just started with a Cube, did three extrudes, some Knife work and an interior extrude.
