Fluid Vortex

[FanRoTom5678]

-But can it blend?

-Yes.

-.........

[flashcode0]

This is cool. Why is there so many dislikes?

[adolphuscabralles48]

Não entendi nada.

[clubpenguin235]

Thumbs if your computer froze after vid

[JustKev699]

do it again i wasnt watching! >.>

[TechnoStickmen]

I have a blender WHIRLPOOL simulation that took 14.8gb of RAM to bake. if you guys liked this I think you might think mine is cool too.

[Sawhorsepictures]

Is the mesh that is causing the water vortex animated and then set as a control?

[takenflame]

If I bake any higher I get errors. I couldn't help but laugh.

[Wikkiter]

I'm... thirsty now...

[TopGun904]

Inside is a really powerful magnet with a motor with another magnet under the table.

[GronTheMighty]

@TopGun904 mmno.. this is a computer generated animation of relatively high quality showing a vortex in a sphere of water, that's about it.. no magnets or motors needed, no magic either ;)

[ChubbyJake123]

excuse a noob, but what is this?

[theheadoff]

Ok. cool now i get it!

[theziee]

woooooooah

[charlie11459]

i can do 150, or mabey high but itll crash at 200, ive never tried any inbetween before

[SethiXzon]

...and every other company in existance :D

[Grimmcorpse]

Most companies cares for their consumers, though.

[CrazyMonkey124]

Blender is shit with that.

[CrazyMonkey124]

I can has .blend??

[alanpgoodwin]

That's amazing! Just one question...how?!

[Prometheus722]

Within the next twenty years person computers will be able to render this in real time.

[bontaitai]

actually, it already happened.

lol realitme animated water exists

[daisyfoofpoof]

where?

[UltimateMusicMaker]

not with that resolution

[anonymous6366]

i know cant wait the future will be tight

[bontaitai]

did you use the vortex thing in the physics button?

[waggabiggadoo]

id like to see this in a slower version

[Bobfreestudios]

how did u get it to spin? like revolve did u like rotloc it or sumthin or ....

[Asdam12]

Probably just coincidence.

[hal970fx]

Could be the vortex property being applied to some object...

[Asdam12]

True...

[snipperbes]

ever heard of that incredible Blender property called "control particles"?

[bigheadchubbybear]

cool

[mercanaries3]

thats real

[AndyII6III9]

Looks real, but it's not. It's extremely awesome animation.

[techforumz]

wuddya mean csant bake higher than 80 I can go upto 200 on a 1GB box. (theoretically). Sweet BTW.

[LightOfTheValar]

I meant for this particular simulation I couldn't go over 80. Most other things I can bake at up to 230. (See my response to agent47crows.)

[TheFXGuy]

@LightOfTheValar how could you max @ 230? Was there a problem with the blender build 2 years ago or did your computer just plain suck?

[fatecreatr1]

wow

[basslinegenerator]

wow what a great idea

[zenrei18]

turn of your shadow and osa in your scene tab

[agent47crows]

Dude!

I have a solution for your errors!

Increase your RAM. If you can't, go to My Computer, properties, and increase your virtual RAM if you have spare HDD space. I think it is in the Advanced tab, performances or something.

I do not know right now, since I currently have XP in French!

[LightOfTheValar]

The problem isn't my amount of RAM, it's just that the vortex is incredibly CPU intensive. I have 2 GB of RAM and baking at res 80 doesn't even take up 1 GB, but the 100 frames of the animation took overnight to bake!

[rgrasell]

What kind of compuer do you have?

And how did you DO that?

[LightOfTheValar]

3.2 Ghz P4 (HT)

2 GB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM

Basically it's just a giant blender, there is a small paddle in the bottom spinning at 3,000 RPM. (2 full rotations per frame at 25 FPS.)

[agent47crows]

Ok, that's strange... hum... Did you use any soft shadows and area lamps?

Because I cannot possibly see what the problem is.

That was for residu usage.

[agent47crows]

This is for baking.

Does it sometimes bake real low res sims real slow? Like, waiting about a minute to bake a frame or so, but normally doing it OK?

Then try rebooting. It happens to me, at least on 3 computers. It just takes too long every now and then.

Mostly for aberant fluid/obstacle positions. I just stands there, doing about nothing. I return in 3 hours, it reached the 5th frame, and when I reboot, it does the whole trick in 5 minutes.

[LightOfTheValar]

There's nothing wrong with my computer, it's so slow because there is a massive amount of water(1.5 m sphere) moving VERY quickly, both things that tend to do bloody murder to your bake times, no matter the resolution.

[agent47crows]

Wow. Well, that's big then!

[FadAdam]

wow cool abit too quick though maybe for me

[LightOfTheValar]

It's not too quick, I have the correct start and end times.
