Drop 5 news @ http://cebas.com/?pid=news
This video by Edwin Braun shows the new FlowEmitter at work.
- FlowEmitter (FE) is a new particle generator with unique control features.
- FE gives VFX artists the control over simulation where constant, realistic flows are in the making, undeterred by size or shape.
Intro: Description of fluid sim from bottle:
- done in real time
- fluids could be anything: water, oil, syrup, chocolate milk..
- notice the shape of the bottle, especially the mouth, as this is important for while we want to sim later.
1:28/12:00 DynamicSet:
- start by tilting the bottle over,
- Sim : create fluid particles with the new TP FluidSolver + BPhysics,
- rotate bottle to simulate tipping over
2:01 - fluid spills !
- not spilling liquid uncontrollably but linked to the animated tipping of the bottle within minutes into thinkingParticles. You would need many more hours without FlowEmitter from TP.
- all done and completed in real time while the video is being recorded.
3:09 - Modifying the Scene
- add a few more bottles, ready for spillage...
- feel free to rotate bottles around as you want them.
- ObjToParticle to select the new bottles and bring them into sim:
- there is a new feature from Drop 5, the ability to make more than one selections at the same time,
- select the two bottle001 and bottle002O: at ObjToParticle: , right-click on the pick button and 'selection' to choose the object,
- adjust settings to make sure bottles selected are in the same group.
- Track select 'none',
- FE will auto-feed in the pre-sets fluid particles.
4:24 - playback with three animated bottles, three varied spills.
- everything can be adjusted inside the FlowEmitter,
- in any other applications, this sim would require weeks of setup and modification to create.
5:08 - FE - Settings / Glucking fx
- Shape
- Type: Rate per area, etc
- ...
- Pouring settings : controls the physical simulation of the pouring, volume settings for how much fluid in bottle, slope angle, and even a physically accurate 'Glucking' effect - simulates the vacuum and the air inside the bottle which adjusts the pressure effect.
6:05 - FlowEmitter can also be used creatively in rocket explosion
- FE can also generate particles of dust
- the beauty of it is most of the vfx is done for you automatically!
6:47 - SCENE )(finalRender4 beta)
7:03 - FlowEmitter 2 SIM of red wine pouring
- set properties for size of bottle and how much liquid do you want.
7:38 - DynamicSet
- ObjToParticle: bring in the Point001 helper for position of Emitter inside the bottle,
- adjust size, shape and volume..that's all is needed
- just animate the bottle and the FE effects automates.
- animate rotation of bottle at angle set and liquid pours out naturally,
8:28 - for Glucking vfx, adjust the tile of the bottle.
- so all done with just adjusting the animation of the bottle, the fluid pouring out will automatically be physically correct with FE.
8:40 - VFX tearing of fluids when bottle rotates back
There is nothing in the VFX software market that does this so fast and beautifully, while being physically correct.
9:03 - SCENE (finalRender 4 beta)
9:14 - Particle Emission
- constant flow density are extremely important in fluid sims as you do not want to see 'pocket's of differences as it will make the sim 'explode'
- Based on the current difficulties in other applications for constant regulated flow : FlowEmitter resolves this with 'Rate per Area' controls where artists can set the rate/sec based on area and guarantees a constant flow.
10:55 - Proving the Point : achieving constant flow
- scroll down FE, and adjust a larger volume on the Output to 20.0
- constant density stays for FE
- this is very important for visual effects dealing with fluids, or smoke, or any kind of flow.
