dayvbrown Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 hi all, so i've got a setup wherein i need some fluids to be affected by a magnet force dop. It's set up and working really well for all other aspects of the sim (there's some cloth and rbd in there... separate sims though) but when it comes time to do the fluids it's just not affecting it the way I would expect. ie, at all. It does seem to have some very small effect at the centre point of the metaballs. The sampling mode is set to sphere. I'm currently using sph, are there any tricks or tips I should know about when using magnet force dop with fluids? Would i be better off just creating a separate vel field? cheers, dave.

dayvbrown Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 But even that works ok with magnet force. so it does! it appears the trick is just to pump the scale of the magnet force WAY up (or down as the case may be), should've guessed. Working nicely now. Thanks Ehsan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
