yeteatime Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Hi! I'm making a chocolate dipped strawberry (strawberry model from 4dm-works.com). There are 2 problems. 1) When the strawberry falls into the chocolate, the FLIP is using both bounding box of the VDB and the VDB for its collision, creating this box around. VDB resolution is at 0.007 and uniform division for collision is at 500. (which I thought are high enough?) so I'm not sure what's up. 2) The 2nd problem is that the chocolate doesn't stick to the strawberry. I have the friction, viscosity, density and stick on collision on, but nothing's been happening. I have a feeling it's something super minor somewhere.. but I can't seem to figure it out. How can I fix this? (Bound_Stick_Question.hipnc) Thank you in advance for taking a look at it! -Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feather Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I just ran into this last week actually. Using a volume sample and pointing to a collision volume with a division size below .01 resulted in this box like error. It seems to only happen if the collision volume drops to a division size of less than 0.01 but otherwise is fine. I couldn't seem to get this to show up in the collison display or trouble shoot it. If anyone can help I would appreciate this as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drughi Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It needs more exterior band voxels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fluid still isn't sticking to the geo lol but solving one problem at a time is a good progress! I might just restart the project and see if I missed something. 1 hour ago, Drughi said: It needs more exterior band voxels. Also good to know, as I never even thought about that lol.. I'll keep that in mind for the future troubleshoot! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drughi Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) The exterior band voxels are not only important for the collisions, but also for the sticking. You should add more resolution, increase the exterior band voxels and tweak the sticking settings.

Atom Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) That is a nice example file. Do you have any tips on keeping some of the fluid "stuck" to the collision object. I would like the strawberry to be coated in chocolate, even after it spins around and throws some of the fluid off to the sides. I tried increasing Surface Tension and Viscosity, but the fluid still won't stick? Are exterior bands the same as narrow bands? I'm not really sure where that setting is located? I noticed the solver is unlocked in your example. Did you make changes to the solver itself? Edited October 29, 2019 by Atom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drughi Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Exterior band voxels are from the colliders vdb. If the voxelsize of the collider is really small the "padding" - exterior band voxels need to be increased for collisions and also the sticking to work correctly. In my example file I have only a very thin narrow band for better speed. If you do somthing other than testig you should increase it a bit. I unlocked the solver only to enable opencl and to visualize the sticking. You could try to increase exterior band voxels even more. To only have it collide small padding is ok, but for the sticking it not only needs to know if fluid is inside of the collider, but also if it is close to the collider - this is where the exterior band voxels are really important to give it this padding and ability to check if the fluid is close. I will give it another test and try to make it stick more. Edited October 29, 2019 by Drughi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks for the additional information. I can see the exterior band voxel bounding box change, when alter the value. I never really played around with that. Getting closer, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why fluid density attribute so big (770000) and why decreasing this to 1 completely ruining sticky effect? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting closer, though. hi! how much did u increase voxel bounding box? and its in collision source sop node or vdb from polygons right? i increased from 8 to 50 (just to see if i have any difference ) on both and two times i have the same stickness like on original Drughi post gif with rubber toy i think im wrong and changed wrong exterior band voxel? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
