Hi,

I am trying to create beach waves that over a period of time shrinks or draws back as the ground gets revealed. I tried animating the water depth but that affects the height of the water.Animating the geometry to push the water in yields undesirable effect.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a blood drip effect.Please find in the hip file and gif image.
Blood drips fine as long as it slides over the surface.Once it comes off the surface, there is too much of curly noise.How to avoid it?
Can anyone help me on this.Thank you.

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone explain how to set parameter values using VEX function?
Say for example,there is a sphere, scattered. If the current frame is between 5 and 10, the number of scatter points should be 10 else 0.


if(@Frame >= 5 && @Frame <= 10)
{
@scattercount=10;
}
else
{
@scattercount=0;
}

How to set @scattercount to force total count parameter of scatter sop.

Thank you.

I have added a custom wind field.But the smoke isn't moving that well.Coudn't maitain the wind speed till the end.I want the smoke to move across with constant speed all along.
They tend to slow down after a while(please watch the wip video).Can someone help me out on this.

Hi all,

I am trying to create a Fish bait ball like in the video  Fish-Baitball-ref.mp4. The shape is constantly changing as the fishes flock over them.

I created a shape,used a pointvop to deform it and then used a point deform to get the deforming points.

I am clueless as how to proceed further. I want the points to flock across the deforming shape.

Can anyone guide me to get this result? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am trying to create a school of fish that has to be in a definite shape. So i created an object and filled with points. The points don't change as the object move. The object also deforms. Now, I am stuck while setting up the orientation for the points as the object turns and bends. Don't know how to set it right. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance!Please find the attached hip file.

Thank you Jeff, I am trying to do a similar effect. Your file was of great help. I have a question with regards to this. How to choose the source points from where the fire starts? I would like to have multiple source points for the fire to start from.

Thank you

Technical Discussion » Beer Foam Simulation

User Avatar

Hello everyone,

I am creating a beer simulation fx.Please find the attachments.

I used two emitters, one to emit beer (with higher density) and another emitter from the base of the glass to emit foam (with much lower density).

As the beer hits the base of the glass, it pushes the foam to go higher and stay on top.


I have two issues,

a) I use a thick collision proxy volume to avoid the leakage of flip particles.But, towards the end I want the beer to fill and spill along the surface outside.How to achieve this? If I reduce the thickness the flip particles tend to leak and there is volume loss as well.

B)I have applied velocity to push the foam particles upwards,but It doesn’t have any impact. As of now the foam particles move upwards because of the velocity created by the beer particles.I want the foam particles to move upwards by applying some external force so that more foam forms on top.How to achieve this?


Any help?

Thanks in advance..
