michaelb-01 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I'm doing a flip sim of a splash. My particle separation is 0.006 which produces 14mil particles so pretty low. However because its quite a big splash the bounding box of the sim gets quite large so by the end of the sim I have 600mil voxels in the surface volume and 115mil voxels in the vel volume. So this is crashing my machine (which has 128GB ram)... My grid scale is the default of 2 but the vast majority of those voxels will be wasted since there are no particles in most of the bounding box. Is there any way to optimise this? The obvious way would be to use sparse volumes in dynamics instead of Houdini's native volumes but I imagine that would be creating a flip solver from scratch.. Or can I increase the grid scale without it negatively affecting the sim too much (i'm going to test this now..) I've attached a flip book of the sim https://drive.google.com/open?id=1k3Kexf-DJ5_ULPLt6dpsfx5f9LtW2OVz Edited June 29, 2018 by michaelb-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have you tried changing the grid scale to 4 to see if it has a big impact on the look of your sim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
