Hi,
I thought I share some of my latest CHOPs rnds here as well. Lately I have been looking into audio driven fluids with rbds, and it is really an interesting field having the audio control the look and behavior of a simulation/animation. Any ideas, or tips for shading/comp improvements are welcomed.

Regarding the fluid beats, I think it would be really interesting if you could somehow make it so that when the fluids go back to the center, that they form something different each time.

Hi edward, thanks for the input. Hmm that would be interesting, could work with a gradient field. But I find it a bit tricky to get a defined shape quick with gradient though. Maybe some blend shapes could work

Hi,
Here's a new FLIP beat with shapeshifting,

Here is another fluid beat with the same forces from previous FLIP beat but with smoke
