harima Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi All I was trying to get a nice crown splash by throwing a big rock on a water surface. Here is a test https://vimeo.com/92410596 pass is: splash My question is: I generally like the crown shape but I dont like how the water gets back from the center. Its coming very high up and although it might be physically correct I would like to control it and tame it a bit. I found that giving some initial waves helps a bit. Otherwise when I throw the rock on a flat surface then the water that comes up from the center travels miles and sooo fast !!! So any ideas to have more control on this? thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry probably the single most unhelpful response you could have hoped for, but: That sim looks great. What else would you hope for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikarus Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 You could add a drag in the splash zone after the crown flies out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wick3dParticle Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Hi Harima, This last Siggraph, I participated in a talk with some of my colleagues about directable fluids - Directable fluids in the world of epic At Blue Sky we have a proprietary procedural trajectory rig that we use in conjunction with a flip tank to create directable crown splashes. While I can't share with you the trajectory aspect of the setup, I can show you how to integrate something like a POP sim that mimics a crown splash in to your Flip sim. The end result is something more controllable. Keep in mind, this is a quick low-res example, but it will get the idea across. Best of luck, Ilan IGcrownSplash.hipnc Edited April 26, 2014 by wick3dParticle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
