Description
My first serious attempt on Realflow.It took almost two days to calculate the particles.
Generating mesh: about one day.
Tweaking animation and rendering (original:640x480): Almost 4 days.
That's almost a whole week!!
My machine was glowing in the dark after that...

But doesn't it look cool?
rendered with Cinema4D.

Ah man this makes me miss playing with Realflow and Fumefx
Stopped messing with them because of how old my rig was. Took so long to render even the smallest animations. I just gave up haha
Awesome though, well worth the wait.

This old-school POVRay-er thought it was really a photograph and was wondering how you set it up.
Very cool!

Set up with Realflow. It simply creates particle and a metaball (blob) around them. But you have all properties of real liquid like viscosity, surface tension, friction, vorticity, inner and outer pressure, etc.
By the way, respect to some oldschool CG artist. I was never able to use pov ray. I really need a GUI to create something

This is incredible! Fantastic work. I actually don't know much about the program you used. I am interested though. Would you mind explaining the basics on how it works? This is very intriguing.

I create a polygon sphere. Then I fill it with particles. Those particle have different behaviour options like surface tension, viscosity, vorticity or pressure. Those are the basic properties to simulate water or other "fluids".
The projectile is a simple animated ball. When it hits the drop, the simulation starts to move the particles.
The particles simulate the behaviour of water molecules. But of course you cannot use real numbers of molecules. That would be thousands of trillions. So the whole thing is quite an estimation.
For this drop, the program had to generate about 60000 particles.
When the program (Realflow 4) finished the motion of the particles, I create a mesh around them. That works by pushing a button and adjusting some properties. Then itΒ΄s waiting again. A "mesh" is a 3D-polygon model, by the way.
When itΒ΄s done, I export the mesh tzo another program to create a material for the drop and set a light environment to render the final animation, which takes some hours again. And then itΒ΄s done.

Thank you. I really was quite curious. I wouldnβt be able to try something like this on my own, but I always like to know how things are done. Great work and thank you.

Animation?
