the only difference in the settings here between the two samples
are that in movie 2:
1) metaballs instead of average
2) filtering turned on and set to 2, 1, 1 on the metaball mesh version
wow, what a big change. the metaball mesh is much more ‘liquid’ like.
same simulation, with stock liquid shader.
bounce: 0 on girl and ground plane
friction on particles: 2
47 units tall girl
3 unit radius sphere for particles.
comments?
observations?
