Blender 2.44 fluid simulation :

I think blender's fluid simulator is able to compete with the commercial softwares, as flowline or realflow. Your opinion?

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?

[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...

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

particles breaking off too early

[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.

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.

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

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