Thank you very much for the great video. I am noticing that the speed of your simulation is much faster than my system. I have a 3090 graphics card and a nice intel chip.

In the future I will call this out or leave it real time. As far as your rig. The simulation of this add-on doesn’t utilize the GPU (hopefully it will in the future). So the speed of your sim is based on your cpu. From my experience, both Windows and Mac run quickly with newer hardware. I hope this helps 🚀

@PixelPlanetStudios

Жыл бұрын

For the clean look it could be one or two factors. Resolution adds more detail but depending on the settings you have now, making it higher might just have diminishing returns. The other factor is your modifier stack, which I like to use after simulating. So here are things I like to do: 1) Remesh plus shade smooth. Use a low voxel unit until you reach the quality you need 2) Add smooth 3) Smooth again perhaps. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

May I ask how fast your CPU is? I try to understand the speed problem I have. I have a CPU max speed 4.4 GHz, but very slow. My voxel count is same as yours.

I'm having an issue with the last part of the tutorial. When I split the sphere in half it creates what Flip Fluids calls a non-manifold object and thus the fluid simulation doesn't run properly. I'm using blender 3.4.1 and Jan release of Flip. So, instead of half a sphere filling with fluid I just just a small amount of fluid. Any guesses?

@PixelPlanetStudios

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Based on the description. I’m guessing the sphere containing the fluid has mesh holes. What you can do is select all the faces of that sphere in edit mode, then select > select all by trait > loose geometry. That will isolate any detached faces. Then I’d select all vertices and use the merge by distance to see if that fixes the issue. Lastly, you could create a new sphere at the origin and reapply the fluid settings. You can also try those steps with the fluid mesh. Let me know if that helps! Good luck 👍🏼

This add-on primarily uses the cpu for baking and won’t take advantage of the GPU. So it’s a combination of core count and clock speed. There are other factors to take into account, but it’s outside my knowledge base. If you are comparing your bake time to my system, I’ve increased the playback speed during some of the simulation sections of the video to make the tutorial a shorter duration.

According to the Flip Fluids wiki this is a tricky option. They say, "A common problem with exporting FLIP Fluids whitewater meshes is that some third-party softwares cannot import this data properly. The Blender Alembic exporter does not support exporting particles or instances, so whitewater simulation meshes are structured as vertex-only meshes where each vertex represents the position of a whitewater particle. Some softwares do not recognize vertex-only meshes as valid geometry."

I want to "pour" water to glass model, but if I set the glass model to Obstacle with Inverse, and set the Domain to Object Volume, the simulation just wouldn't start, no water is coming out of the fluid

I did some tests with particle rendering and octane for Blender. I had to use the 'render image' window to see the final result, and it wouldn't work for me in the live preview rendering inside the viewport. If that doesn't work for you here are some ideas: 1) Make sure the particles are simulated and are appearing in the viewport (non-render view) as points in space. 2) You mentioned they are disappearing after the first frame, so that might be a simulation error with the whitewater settings or fluid movement (hard to say). 3) Increase the particle size in the fluid settings of the bubble, dust, foam or spray items. Let me know if this helps.
