Okay I feel like this is a pretty meaty topic. I have been working on it for ages and i cant find a solution. I have made a pretty elaborate clip colour mixing sim. Folowing somthing similar to this ==> Its a pretty well known set up but I wanted to add a colour infection setup into this. As the mask travels through the fluid it grows using a infection based solver. I though this would be easy and made a solver on scattered points that works fine. Until you put it into a sop solver using animated points. I can get a nice natural looking growth. So my question is if anyone else is familiar with doing something like this? I can get a scene file ready but my current one is pretty heavy. Any help and feedback is more welcome. I have also tried doing the growth set up in a solver after the Flip sim as well FYI.

Hey wizards! I have a challenge I need help solving. I'm doing a flip sim where I have to mix two different fluids together, I.E. water and lets say molten aluminum. Clearly these two fluids need 2 different shaders, but when doing a sim you'd want one one mesh to keep everything clean without gaps or ips. I've already created a single shader driven by surface attributes to get the two different materials to work on the same mesh. There's only one massive, glaring issue with this method. You don't get any of your interior attributes back from your particles when using a mesh. The many solutions I've tried all fall short including using volume representations of the interior fluid, this is because a volume cannot receive lighting information that surfaces can I.E spec, refraction, SSS, etc. One idea that I haven't been able to fully explore, due to my lack of shading knowledge, is the way that ocean shaders use particle and volume data to create the deep ocean looks that Houdini is great at. So TLDR my question is: Is it possible to recreate a shader that works like the ocean shaders in that I can take volume and particle attributes to drive things like sss, spec, refraction, etc. using the principled shader. If so, if anyone has any basic leads or can point me in the right direction to get started that'd be huge. I really want to get this shader to look incredible so I can share it with the rest of the community down the road if anyone needed to tackle something similar. Have at it team!
