Thanks for the link to the tutorials, but I'm still having trouble trying to get the effect I want.

I'm trying to create a shower scene where bubbles are sliding down and following the contour of a body.  I've got the bubble particle emitter set up and it drops bubbles on the body but they fall off after falling over the arm and don't follow the body. (as shown)

I tried using a directional force and got nightmarish results.  (Not shown here)

I'll post my settings in the next post.
