Am trying to create a simple slow-motion splash in front of the camera.

Have been getting some good results except for “flickering” in the fluid surfaces at the limits. Tried all kinds of different settings but my lack of flip fluids experience is getting in the way.

Have attached a hip file and short video of a simple test highlighting the flickering.

Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

The ‘average position’ mode of the fluid surfacer is really unstable with sparse point clouds, there's nothing you can really do aside from inflating the point count or using the other ‘spherical’ mode which looks like lumpy chowder until you smooth the hell out of it.
