   Curious: Is that a Blender fluid or an organic object you've modeled? I'm guessing the latter but haven't seen/used fluids in Blender. Looks good!

   Fluids are nice, but in this case, I wanted very specific control over the shape, but it's more than just a hand-modeled mesh...

   Here's how it breaks down:
   - The "water" is just a box.
   - Each spline on the box has an edge weight of 1.0
   - I've added a subsurf modifier (level 5). The edge weight keeps it from becoming a circle - it just greatly increases the polygon count, non-destructively.
   - Then, a wave modifier was applied to warp the box.
   - Finally, there is a boolean modifier with an invisible box to slice off the edges and make it appear contained.

   Also, the wave has two surfaces shaders - one for the top, and another for the sides.

   Nicely done! Glad I could follow the explanation too :)

   You followed all that? Awesome. I was worried that I was getting too technical in Blender-speak.

   I have a little Blender experience but filled in the rest from my days in Maya :)
