In any case, a ray-traced transparent water shader would “clearly” affect the visual results.Īt this point, I am ready to integrate the FLIP Fluids simulation tool into production work, as I think it really enhances Blender’s built-in tools. This could make the motion of the fluid easier to track, which may improve the motion blur results. I used a red, opaque fluid shader, partly as an homage to The Shining and partly to save render times. While it would be great to get accurate motion blur vectors in a future update, I got some pretty smooth results from using the ReelSmart Motion Blur plugin for After Effects. One feature that the FLIP Fluids plugin does not currently support is motion blur. Non-zero friction value, so I will be interested to see how changing

Also, I had assigned my collision objects a In the video there is clearly evidence of the simulation grid as theįluid flows over the torus surface, so going to a higher resolution will likely improve this. Resolutions and got fairly consistent results, though the look of theįluid and the behavior really changed a lot as we moved from grid I have a room-sized (3m³) domain, two collision objects, and anĪnimated inflow fluid source. Here is the video showing different resolutions with and without motion blur: Straightforward Fluid Simulation It has some great features, including support for whitewater bubbles and foam as well as variable viscosity. It seems very stable once you hide the fluid surface mesh in the 3D View during the simulation baking process. While this is still in beta testing, I can say for certain is that the FLIP Fluids plugin shows great promise. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the beta testing of the FLIP Fluids simulation plugin, created by Ryan Guy and Dennisįassbaender, and I have to say I am loving the results.Ī Promising Fluid Simulation Tool for Blender
