Making a splash

Hi guys,
i’m quite new to blender, i have used maya a bit in the past and am generally an after fx person but i have a particular project on in which i need to animate a paint pot being knocked over and the slow down the motion as the paint globs splash out.

Sounds easy and i have worked out the paintpot part, textures etc even animated the “knocking over” of it but as for the liquid… i’m lost.

Are there any pointers as to the best way to do this that anyone can give me?

Thanks very much indeed.

Alex
