Hello everyone.

I build this scene from many tutorials on the web. I got my liquid stable into a sphere and I try to move particles inside to influence the liquid (sphere copied to point, transform to vdb) but nothing seems to work. I followed 2 tutorials that say relatively the same thing:

https://youtu.be/Nrhu6-Y1d1I [youtu.be]
But it does work for me. I must be missing something basic.
I tried to strip down the scene to its minimum, but I can't find out what I am doing wrong.

Indeed, it works nicely. The approach is different and I look into it.

Thanks a lot.

After revision, the way Chris does it, it is not possible to get a tank other than square.
I'm trying to do it into a sphere.

Still don`t know how to achieve this.

After merging what I know of the two scenes, I was able to boil my water. Yeah!

Unfortunately now, I am unable to render it. The fluid wants something that I don't know or understand. I tried to give it what it wants, but all I could get was the surface preview.



Does anyone have an idea why?
