caskal Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hey magicians, I'm trying to use a cached flip mesh as source for white water, but when I run the whitewater dop nothing happens, any ideas? I also tried using my flip particle cache as source but I guess this overlapping issue Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Whitewater fetches it's data from the COMPRESSED cache, not the SURFACE cache. If you still have the scene available go ahead and kick out a compressed cache and feed that to the whitewater tool. One easy way is to use the whitewater tool on a flip tank then point it to a File node that fetches your compressed cache. Then you can delete the flip tank.

caskal Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 @Atom I love you, this seems to be working correctly, little crazy and long duration but thats tweakeable. Did a quick resim with low res Quick question, I have cached both the surface mesh and the dopimport full sim with .bgeo.sc, can I plug that into fluidcompress > compressed cache instead of re-siming? Did that and I get that freezing look again, not sure if is because the particle amount or I cache the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) If you cached the flip simulation immediately after the dop import and before the fluidcompress (so you have particles + volumes) it should work. Looking at the second video looks like you are missing the velocities from flip Edited August 2, 2018 by Andrea error 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caskal Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks @Andrea , I did a mistake on the export, will start using the compress stuff its also save disk space (duh!), thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so confused. I am going to update the pic or playblast here later today. thank you so much in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
