Randy,
It seems you are looking for a sand that "piles up" instead of
growing. How bout if you use a new object in each frame? The realism would
be there, but it's (a LOT) more work.
Also, you might try compositing a 2D animation over the animation
in LW. This would be easy to do with Dpaint, then (I've just learned) its
an easy matter to render the sequence over your well animation with an
Alpha channel (black background).
Or use an Adpro script (ARexx) to composite each frame.
Hope this is helpful.
