Dear all: I have a question about the liquid fluid container. When I create a container and move it around, I can't see the default blue mesh. Not with the liquid from object nor source from object. Do I have to add another node?
Also, when I look at the network view / obj , there is one fluid_object node. However, inside the autodot, there is another node “ fluid”. Which one should I use for translating the fluid container?
The fluid object inside your dop network determines the boundaries of your simulation.
The fluid objects outside the dop, on the object level are there to visualize your data, to send it to mantra and render it. You can move them independantly from your dop fluid object.
On the shelf there is a tool called “Resize Fluid”. It will create an extra few nodes in the dop network. Use that if you need to resize and animate the volume that bounds your fluid simulation.
