Impact Splashes

[Tiago]

Hello,

How would you go about in order to create this effect in houdini?

Any pointers you can give me in order to put me in the right track?

Thank you in advance,

Tiago

make an animated object that will form main impact shape, scatter points on that object

- use flip or sph solver to move particles upwards with big surface tension, big external pressure (play with gas values)

- or use sop solver, filter point positions, add some noise and upward force

You can make bubbles as separate emitter from few random points

This is one example of bubbles:

I would not create a volume of particles (as I was doing in that container), but perhaps a thin layer of particles near the surface could help you give nicer surface detail when the bubbles burst at the surface.

Have a look in the file, this follows a flip+ sopsolver approach.

Thank you Albert and thank you Peter. Great input from both. I appreciate it!

also you could take a look at guy 'pxelpro' who nicely explains this bubble approach but to get effect like in example from FusionCis you have provided I don't think that any simulation is needed.
