My First Blender 3D Fluid Simulations

[TheFortuneCat]

Today I made a green mountain in blender...

[nikouhl]

very cool

[twitchyAMC]

i know i'm being a noob, but how do you make rectangles?

[brutalducky]

@twitchyAMC space -> add mesh -> cube

[twitchyAMC]

yeah, i know that, but how do i shape it into something else after i created it? like changing length, width, height

[brutalducky]

@twitchyAMC after you create it. select it by clicking right click on it ( it should turn pink ) then press Tab you move the vertices around by right clicking them. look up superboys tuts

[tidalwave71]

ooh cool

All I did was enable fluid simulation on the icosphere. Go to your domain object, and set the gravity on the z-axis to 0.00. This enables zero gravity.

Ba-bam.

Sorry, I left two weeks ago camping.

dude how u make the sphere water? im trying to make my dragon BE a water dragon like but no progress so far. How u make the sphere fulidish and not drop but in fact retain its shape?

^no idea what the program/video is or how it works, but i really love that song

[Tippmann01]

Blender 3D is the name of the program, and the song is Cobblestoned Waltz by Alias and Ehren

looks nice gj

[Tippmann01]

Thanks

[moffboffjoe]

great vid and thanks for the setiings

[Axisistilter345]

what was your resolution for both renders?

btw thanks for your material settings ^^

[Tippmann01]

Hmm...I think it was resolution 200, that looks right to me.

Hey no problem :D

[cgofme]

what settings did you use?

[Tippmann01]

These are the material settings for the fluid I used, and it was rendered using Yafray. Col (Defaults) R: .800 G: .800 B: .800 A: 0.000 (Alpha Setting) For the transparency and reflectiveness, I used the following settings: Ray Mirror - 7 Ray Mir 0.10 Ray Transp - 7 IOR - 1.30 Render it in Yafray with High-Best Quality. Have a good one

[moffboffjoe]

btw does the 7 mean samples?

[Tippmann01]

I think it's depth...it's changed in Blender v2.46...so I can't tell anymore. It's in your material settings though.

[TeenSk8er2102]

hey man, that was awesome. just 2 q. i need 2 know, how do u get a box of water? and how did u make the wave? thanx man. once again. awesome vid!!!

[Tippmann01]

Alright, well...do you know how to make a basic fluid simulation? If not, I'm planning on making a tutorial sometime, maybe over the weekend...

If you have, all you have to do is add a cube instead of an icosphere :)

Any mesh can by made into fluid.

[Tippmann01]

Oh yeahh...and I all I did was let the water flow :)

If you make a cube of water, and it's around 1/3 of your Domain, then I can guarantee that you'll have a similar wave. Just play around a bit :)

[NukeMyHouse]

i made one that i copy and paste to any1 who needs it

[Tippmann01]

...what?

[NukeMyHouse]

errr...

a comment

[Tippmann01]

I don't have any idea what you mean by it though lol

...nvm?

[NukeMyHouse]

SHARP CHANGE OF SUBJECT nice vid

[bumbumzao132]

very nice dude, rated 5 stars... good use of the fluid settings

[Tippmann01]

Thank you :D

[noobhead9]

how do u get the sphere of water to float in the air until the cube hits it?

[Tippmann01]

All you have to do is set the Domain gravity to zero. It's in the "Ad" sub-section of the Fluid Simulation Panel ---> Domain :)
