Farmfield Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have a scene file creating a custom vortex here... That setup is with particles but you can use a custom setup like that to drive Pyro or FLIP as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliferdragon Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 thanks @sebkaine , @Farmfield how to drive a fluid using the particle simulation i have an interesting particle simulation but i can use it to drive fluids and trying to emite fluids from it is not working or giving me strange results tornado2.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmfield Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I didn't mean to drive Pyro with particles, I meant advecting Pyro using a custom point cloud force as the one I did in that scene file to drive pyro - I never even tried doing Pyro from particles as all examples of it I ever seen looked like crap, hehe...

sliferdragon Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 @Farmfield do u have any advecting example as I couldn't find a tutorial on how to do it ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmfield Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Here's my scene file with a pyro setup using a VOP force to import the point cloud velocities... And I just set it up so it works, you gotta tweak it further yourself, I didn't mess with it beyond setting it up. simple_pyro-vortex.hiplc Edited March 21, 2016 by Farmfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
