Problem with mia_material_X

Hi there
Why maya 2010 dose not give me the same result with mia_material_x which i make it in maya 2009 ? It seems the new mentalray version which comes with maya 2010 dose not match with its previous version . when i create new mia_material from maya 2010 and apply the same setting of maya 2009`s mia_material it gives me the same result but when i use my own (2009) its not ?
sorry fo my bad English … 🙂

Ink drop FX

Hi all,

I need to create ink drop effects like this:

I’ve tried using Maya Fluid, but I only got this:

I googled and found someone said Particle Illusion can do it too.
So, what’s the simplest solution for this case? I’m a noob to VFX while facing a deadline for this project next week. I appreciate it so much if you give me some hints on how I should create it.

TIA,
