Hello…

Is there a way to create an alembic cache (with velocity) of the surface preview visible in FLIPtank>Guides>Visualization (check Surface)?

I realize I can import the points via DOP I/O and do a vdbfromparticlefluid, or a particlefluidsurface, but both of these methods are basically reconstructing the surface that is already created. FLIPtank>Guides>Visualization (check Surface) allows me to see the surface, and it is looks better than I can achieve with a VDB or particle conversion.

So can i just spit out the mesh I'm seeing in FLIPtank>Guides>Visualization?

Optionally and perhaps better, how can I achieve the same look using either vdbfromparticlefluid or particlefluidsurface?

Thanks…

Hi Brandon,

You can try using convetVolume, or convertVolume with volumeResample to add more details and use diffrent filters.

I did simple setup, with velocity transfer to mesh.
