Hi, I'm trying to use the Surface field within a FLIP system to calculate the volume gradient. Ideally I would do this within a Gas Field VOP as it's fast and I'm using the VOP with other fields to customise a melting effect. However I can't get the VolumeGradient VOP node to work as it doesn't seem to pick up the Surface field. I'm guessing it's a problem relating to Gas Field VOPs specifically?
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
Kind Regards,
Tim

Don't you have to plug input1 from the globals into the volume gradient node? Brown connector to brown connector.
Your absolutely right! I did this originally and it wasn't working because I hadn't set up my inputs correctly. When I fixed the inputs I forgot to plug it back in. Thank you for reminding me. As it turns out I needed to specify the input as “DOP Data –> fluidobject1/surface”. I was getting stuck on this part too. It's all up and running now
Thank you for the help.
