(Not sure if this query should be here or the Learning board)
I'm trying to simulate something akin to https://youtu.be/9BVinRxcoFQ [youtu.be] - high viscosity mud spewing from a pipe. The end result will hopefully be cached for use in UE4 (if possible).

Im lead to believe Houdini would be great for this but im new, so I had a look around but couldnt find much in the way of mud. Ive been tinkering with lava, and fluids using high viscosity but i cant get close to that effect.

I would greatly appreciate some guidance! Even a “this is too technical for a beginner” or “not feasible” is helpful

Ps. Hi mod, I hope your day is going great

Hi,

The liquid part of the mud should be achievable with the right viscosity + density settings. You might have to experiment with the sludge component however. Since it doesn't really behave like a fluid you might need to use grains.

Good luck,
Ryan

Hi rgoldade,

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into using grains
