Blender Fluid at 300 Res.

[shawbb]

i didnt even know 300 was a resolution. . .

[thetheflyinghawaiian]

WAIT 2gb ram? I have a 12gb ram and I get impatient.

[Straften]

System specs?

[sambetty123]

@Straften amd athlon dual core 2.9GHz, nVidia 9800GT, 2gb RAM DDR2 at the time of these renders

[SuperBspb]

Why do video games not have this.

[LifeRunner4000]

@SuperBspb Because rendering this in real time would take ages and create massive lag.

Too CPU heavy and again, it takes ages to bake this, in other words to simulate it, rendering isnt too bad, however it would create a lot of lag.

[danielosbay]

@SuperBspb Because they will lag, and a lot

[staphinfection]

Would be cool for some gore effectes....

[EKMotionPictures]

wow, you did a great job.

[CQBairsoftfilms]

where do u get this program?

[sambetty123]

@CQBairsoftfilms blender.org

[OckhamDeRazor]

Is there some way to get rid of the bounding box that mars both of these? You can see the fluid bounce off of an invisible "roof" once it reaches a certain height, which mars the credibility of the effect? I've seen the same thing in all the other fluid tests I've watched so far.

[sambetty123]

@OckhamDeRazor in reality, no. But you can make it large enough to the point where it will not collide with the liquids.

[OckhamDeRazor]

@sambetty123 Thanks. That's what I needed to know!

[luxorizy]

@OckhamDeRazor When you use such a box you can eliminate the other particles that are not longer visible. That makes the baking a lot faster.

[OckhamDeRazor]

@luxorizy Thanks for pointing that out. I assumed that this was necessary/desirable for rendering purposes. Still, it would make sense either to crop the camera so that the edge is not visible, and/or adjust the model's parameters to ensure that particles hitting the walls do no become too obvious.

[Joemama198]

the second one the water looked more like paint. a little thinner. but other then tht it was great. i cudnt doi tht, so who am i to critisize?

[ZazarStudios]

nice :)

[Ninja6317]

How do u adjust the resolution?

[sambetty123]

@Ninja6317 are you using blender 2.4 or 2.5?

[Ninja6317]

@Ninja6317

2.49

[sambetty123]

@Ninja6317 cool, click on your domain and on the fluid tab there will be a side-scrolling bar under your "req. bake mem." and it will say resolution. it is default at 50 and you can make it higher or lower.

[Ninja6317]

@sambetty123

ive tried it before but it doesnt do anything

[sambetty123]

@Ninja6317 i dont know what to tell your, try looking for a tutorial on the internet.

[Blendiv]

@Ninja6317 It will only change the resolution of the RENDER you will still see it as 25 resolution in the 3D viewport unless you make the preview resolution higher, which is not recommended because the bake will take much longer.

[lepszy92]

łeee to conajwyżej 200 res...;/

[irock1444]

how does he make such a big splash?

[sambetty123]

sorry for the long response time, but the splash on which one?

[irock1445]

first one and srry for for such a long response too

[sambetty123]

just have s sphere of water drop into a pool of water

[Tjechi]

huh? my render time is waaaaay slower than my bake time :S why's that?

[sambetty123]

baqke is the same for everybodies computer... pretty slow, but your settings and graphics card make it render faster

[blender2k9]

if you want to stop the crashes u have to lesson ur particle system either that or u cant subsurf more then 3 times in your modifier

[ImbecilicProductions]

What are your Computer specs? I can't render to much above the standard and I'm not using a low end PC.

[ImbecilicProductions]

it crashes for no apparent reason, also what video file to you render to?

[sambetty123]

2gig ram, core duo pross. ati readon g-card, umm,its a custom built cpu though, so it is pretty tricked out.

[ImbecilicProductions]

That's odd, I have 4GB of RAM, Core 2 Quad. An ATI card although it doesn't matter... it must be an error with my computer then.

[sambetty123]

when you bake it does it say "runtime error"?

[ImbecilicProductions]

Yes, exactly. Have you received the same error message?

[sambetty123]

yes, i dont know how to fix it, but i reinstalled, and it still didnt work, but randomly, it started working again

[ImbecilicProductions]

That's odd, right now I'm doing a larger render, so it may have randomly fixed itself. Why don't you do Ray Mirror or Ray Transp?

[sambetty123]

well, i was going to, bit it is a lot faster to render without, and i couldnt get it to look perfectly like water

[ImbecilicProductions]

Oh, it seems to work every time for me....It may be because it different in the render than in the preview box...render times go way up though..
