FLIP FLUIDS

FLIP Fluids have been enhanced to achieve 10x faster performance, to generate 10x more data and to create more stable behavior. New variable viscosity controls lets you simulate liquids that melt or harden. Overall, FLIP fluids let you create bigger effect faster than ever before.

Houdini 12 now has a significantly enhanced the FLIP solver.

• Improved performance and the ability to handle large data volumes.
• Simplified the network created by the particle fluid tools.
• Works with the tools on the Populate Containers shelf tab.
• Avoids simulation problems (energy spikes, sticking, volume loss, stringy splashes, lazy turbulence, haywire droplets)

The FLIP solver is now the preferred method for liquid simulations in Houdini.

Variable Viscocity

Houdini 12 now adds important new viscosity controls. This is useful for simulating different types of fluids, and for simulating melting and hardening.The new Make Viscous shelf tool automatically turns on the viscosity parameters of a FLIP Fluid.
