Fill Object Test

i like

[SincereCreature]

Whoa! How unusual?.. the form

[RykuDecay]

so awesome it makes your computer frezze

[Cr42yguy]

i love mercury!

[Kurausu69]

Awesome!! But WTF was that?

[monkeypooification]

where is 0:06 ?

[KygonGames]

realflow makes water looks like phasing reflective marbles.

[GeekingForJesus]

I've never used RealFlow, but it looks like you used large particles. Why not use smaller particles for more realism?

[koolJ]

@GeekingForJesus

The size of particles are all the same, but if the scale of the scene is set properly you can use alot more particles for finer detail. This video was made when I first got into realflow and didn't fully grasp that concept.

[GeekingForJesus]

@koolJ Oh. So you can't change the particle size, but you can change the size of the fill object?

[TheChocochanMan]

@koolJ

Use the "particle resolution" and crank up the count ;) Scale is more of a LOD thing

[Shrimpwagon]

That's cool. Looks more like Mercury

[IPUNCHEDALION]

ball bearings

[roshankiller520]

can make a tutorial?

[koolJ]

Its not too hard, just create a fill object in realflow, add an object you want to do it with, select some faces and make sure they are pointing inside, then simulate. I believe that's mostly what it takes to set it up at least.

[roshankiller520]

i know it now,just take a tutorial just now,thanks.

[cardzone1000]

dude you should try out blender too its easier than realflow actually!

[koolJ]

@cardzone1000 blender is good for starters and what not, but Realflow is much more versatile and powerful in terms of liquid simulation.

[cardzone1000]

@koolJ The bake system seems to be faster in blender actually but i must agree with you Realflow is powerful!

[cocopops149]

actually i find that blender can turn out to be very realistic if you spend some time on the textures

[koolJ]

@cocopops149 Not saying blender is bad at it, its relatively good.

[vpklotar]

OMG, How did you do that, tutorial please :p, 5 stars

[koolJ]

@vpklotar Its just a sphere that I imported into realflow , made a Fillobject type object, used the sphere as the object, and selected the faces to emit the liquid (I did inside faces so the liquid went into it). Then sim'd and exported to max where I applied materials, thats about it.

[vpklotar]

nice work annyway :p

[perferstrategy]

awesome

[KragJin]

THe problem is that Real Flow still doesnt simulate accurate water look which kida sucks... Well GJ ANYWAY :D

[koolJ]

Do you mean how it makes the mesh look, or the actual material of the liquid? In this video the liquid isn't meant to look like water because it's not :P

[amrosik]

wow, how do you program that?

please tell me the mathematics!

[koolJ]

I used a program called Realflow 4 to simulate it. Baisically its just a sphere where I selected some face to emit liquid from, and it did all the calculations. Thank goodness I don't need to know the math :p

[justtypegladson]

Realflow ftw!!! >:D

[ScottVsMarvin]

how long does the trial last?

[koolJ]

The trial allows you to make a scene from scratch , and will allow you to work in it for around 15 minutes I think. After that it will close. It also limits the number of particles you can use.

[ScottVsMarvin]

wow, that's not even worth the waiting time

[ScottVsMarvin]

there's a huge waiting list for the trial as far as i know and the full version is very expensive.

[Stusure8]

Looks like mercury.

[ScottVsMarvin]

i'm so jealous of people with realflow. nice job!

[CODMASTA]

yeah me too :P

[sithlordutkarsh]

ur particles luk way off from one another..so this makes them appear as liquid drops of mercury rather than a flow..try increasing the resolution and use metaballs for the mesh..

happy rendering !

[koolJ]

The point was to make it look like mercury, note the material... lol. So if u say it looks more like mercury... :D i did a good job lol.

[sithlordutkarsh]

oh ok ..cool then (silly me :P)..
