Blender 2.44 fluid simulation :

[Thedanmetzler]

How did you get the particles to flow atthe front of the water? Mine always just act like they've got a mind of their own.

[PinkSharck]

Blender makes realflow look like a moving amoeba ahahahahah

[MRINTERDOG]

doesn't look like water, looks like a load of bouncing balls and some mud under them

[wrenthereaper]

alright, but still how long do you think it took to render the water scenes in blender?

[SomeFunkyDude79]

the water looks more like mud, but overall i really like this video, i like the way you show a street at night with lighted signs then the camera shakes and sparks fly, nice effects.

[shinWangXiao]

I think that as long as it continues to use the mass tracking method that it does to generate the surface, it will always be a cut underneath the results from the commercial apps.

I always thought the weird look of Blender simulations was a limitation of the LBM, but I recently saw a paper which used PLS with LBM, and it looked much better, I think.

I still think that NSE makes more sense than LBM, though.

[DesiScientist]

particles breaking off too early

[pan9t0n9]

Blender is definitely getting close with its fluid simulation, but commercial products still look slightly more realistic because the water doesn't turn into droplets nearly as quickly. Water has a tendency to stick to itself, and blender doesn't quite emulate this quite well enough. Still amazing what freeware can do though

[AidanThorn]

Actually, I've heard about a renderer called Gelato that includes graphics-card acceleration.

[ajc116]

what graphics have you got and how long did it take to render the whole thing :D its very very good :D iv just started and needa graphics card to do things quick

[mokeyragger]

i think it can compete, absolutley

[acillatem87]

wow, excellent job on the modelling. keep up the good work

[defenderofmagic]

awesome! guess it took some time to make it though...

[ninjafinity]

Wow, amazing design as well as interesting camera work. Two thumbs up!

[Pelikoira]

Super cool!

[AquaGeneral]

Very Nice, you have inspired me to go back and make a huge Blender flood.

[maxxhunter88]

Blender, and it's many creators would be proud of you.

[TheTrueDarkOtaku]

This Video Had to have been so hard on your machine lol i hope one day to make somthign this good you rock! my stuff is 100 years behind you LOL

[PivotJoel]

cool

[chipster123]

Excellent work! I've just discovered your work and it's really good.

[SmokingCookie2]

You see, that's REALLY great, but there's one thing you should know: I'd prefer to be far away from such a flood ;)

[DiegoDCvids]

Greatfull done Fabien,awesome fluid engine!!

[mpan3]

very nice. :D the camera shake is a nice touch. too short though.

[FaWeil]

thank you!

It took me about 2 weeks to make this video "only" 1 min...because i have made A LOT of baking-tests to found the correct settings for the wave!

I have made this after seing your video (massive fluid simulation)

[FaWeil]

and sorry for my bad english...i hope you'll understand me^^)

[basslinegenerator]

this pretty much obsoletes my "water in city" video ... hmmm ... do i want to start a challenge ? .. no .. o have to much other stuff in the render pipeline :) ... but once this stuff is done ... i'll beat your fabulous video :) and mine will have SSS harrharrharr :)

grüsse in die schweiz ... auf welchem system arbeitest du ?

[FaWeil]

Thank you for the comment!

I've done this with windows xp, on a 3ghz single core (p4)...

I've tryied to use sss, but the scene is too much dark, and that was not visible...

PS: I'm "suisse romand", it means I speak french^^ Are you swiss too?

[basslinegenerator]

iam from austria :)  thanks for the info ...

[icefire89]

I think blender can compete with the major programs on just about everything when people have as much skill as you...bravo. You are a god among blender artists...

[dodgydavec]

Quite frankly, how ever long blender took to do the calculations and rendering, it was well worth it. This is one of the best blender vids I've seen here for a very long time. And not just the fluid. Added to faves.

[OGMO11]

wow! this look 100 million times better than an movie I saw once! (this sadly reminds me to it (reaaaally bad movie)) good job!

[EggYolk]

Wow! nice FaWeil! finally a practical scene use of the Fluid Engine and not just a boring video of the sky filling up with water =P

[zimbloggy]

nice one! how much baking time + render time?

[FaWeil]

baking time was not too long because i could'nt set the resolution above ~200. i think about 14h.

render time was very long with the ambient occlusion, but i don't know exactly how much hours...
