First simulation I like the most!

Hm, res are not that high for 5-6hrs... are you using hermite? High Res Sim (All)?

Is there any chance to share some of the main/vital settings? :)

[viki164]

its not the resolution always On wt no. of hours can be calculated. Its actually dpeneds lot on the size/scale of the containers. So I always prefer to keep my fluid as close to the standard size..If I tend to extend my fluid twice or thrice than the actual size then it will tk more to sim even if the res is lower than the actual one.

Im soon gonna update/share my explosion settings on cgtalk thread..have check with them by this weekend.

wow, 5-6 hours thats pretty insane...the thing i hate about fluid sims is that there is no shortcut to tweaking them...you tweak one variable and wait...its not the way you like it so you tweak another variable and wait...it takes FOREVER

[viki164]

yeah but its worth waiting for it..U put something on sim..go out have drink, hang out wid GF, watch sports..bla bla.Its a fum thing to play with fluids.

erlier i use to experiment with tweaking fluids...but now I dont experiment any more..I knew wt tweak has to be done to get desired result. it just matter of practicse & I also have leraned a lot from bad sims.

really great work again man, can i ask how long did it take to similuate these? and ur fluid container resolution?

[viki164]

some of them took 5-6 hrs but the low res ones were abt 1-1.5 hours & my max res for the high res sims were 180 260 150 around.

how do you get such nice effects

[xchaliix]

These look awsum, Have u got a tutorial on this by any chance? I'm looking for some help on creating my own nuke explosion effects, any help wud be nice x

[3dgloveanimations]

@thefluidrobot dude........fume fx in 3dsmax you adjust all after sim/.............

[johnnycorebrieee]

damn... thats nice.. xD

Viki its Awesome mind blowing :)

I have just read the final credits about High Detail Solve, and I assume that, you did not use hermite... it would take forever to simulate :)

I'm trying to achieve little black swirls around glowing mushroom, from first simulation... its tricky :)
