duveil Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi,I have been doing an R&D to achieve this effect.In the description ferro fluid is mentioned and I checked Niel Prayers`s ferro fluid tutorial but it seems different effects.Now I am looking for mixing multiple fluids with different density values .Has anyone tried sth. like this?Or can you give some advice where to look?

sweetdude09 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You could also try something like Jeff Jones's Physarum Form Finding algorithm! It's actually pretty simple to implement in Houdini, assuming you have the patience to read the paper! http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/15260/1/artl.2010.16.2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudenay Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Atom link is a good one, the zero gravity sim has good vex to achieve your effect. This one can also help, i think it's like entagma reaction diffusion, may be a little bit improved: from Erik Baymukashev - 2d line growth effect 01: (project provided) 2d line growth effect 02 is very close from what you are looking for, no tuts or project with that video. I guess you'll have to mix several pieces of those projects to build that ferrobrain effect. I wish you that this thread has the same kind of success than the differential curve growth. Some info of that discussion can really help here: http://forums.odforce.net/topic/25534-differential-curve-growth/ 2d_line_growth_01.hip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
