I just applied the sub div mod, I did leave a new note to always apply scale and mods when in doubt this weekend but forgot to check that haha. I still get same results though. I did post to my mentor as a submission so I will wait for that but I will appreciate another set of eyes on this as well. I just submitted my force fields project and went through the tips and tricks chapter and ready to start on the final project for the physics core. So after that it will be just this dynamic paint stuff. I am not sure if it would work for you or not with this maybe being a file issue.
