i am working on an animation that requires, an india ink bottle be knocked over and for the ink to flow outward and spread across the table in a controlled manner...

...would it be possible for someone to point me in the right direction, or maybe someone knows of a tutorial that describes a similar event like lava, and/or thick gel of some sort.

...i am new to fluids and fluid containers so any help would be greatly appreciated user added image

If the worst hasn't happened yet, that's because you haven't tried everything yet!

I totaly agree with the above poster, https://www.mtmckinley.net/

Mike has a great basic blobby liquid tutorial that would be perfect for this!!!
Just change a few settings to the attenuation make the particles move slower as the ink comes to a stop user added image

Dont be afraid of mike because he has a beard...
