sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hello, first: sry for asking so high frequenced on Flip Fluids! I have a very strange problem. My Flip Fluid simulation on 24 fps worked perfectly - with the right scaling and settings I got beautifull results. Now I got a scene with an animation, that has 50fps (also in the scene file). I actually did the same thing than in the other simulation. Scaling and settings are quite similar. But now my simulation explodes. What I did was playing around with the "Scale Time". The fluid is not exploding anymore, but it also gives me very unrealistic results, specially the whitewater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRomano Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hey, try to retime it. Reset the time scale parameter, check "add ID attribute" and put down a retime node, and for points check if the "use ID attribute" is set to id. Then use the fit range and fit your simulation to what frame range you want. You may use cubic interpolation to get smoother results.

sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Hey @DonRomano thx for your reply. I dont really understand that. The 50fps are also in the Global Settings, Means, everything in the scene is now 50fps. Actually its the same scene than before more or less, but we had to change everything to 50FPS. The Fluid Setup is also new, but with the same settings than before. So what exactly do I have to retime? Thanks again Edited November 28, 2019 by sant0s81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 are simulations when the scene is set to 50FPS a generell problem? Or should that make no difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRomano Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Okayy I didn't understood that. What you can try is to set the time scale at 0,48. Your simulation should behave as it was simulated with 24fps. Cheers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) hey, that seems to do the trick - I am just doing a flipbook preview, but alreday looks way better! thx Edited November 28, 2019 by sant0s81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 hmm... I just dont understand it. Everything worked so perfectly in the other scene with 25FPS. Now, in the new scene thats actually the same thing but with 50FPS, everything looks totaly different and ugly. The whitewatter kinda bounces on the surface, it exapnds very strange, is to quick etc. It always looks promosing first and when I start to simulate, suddenly in motion it looks realy ugly. Anyone has an idea, what I could do wrong here? watertest.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRomano Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Did you changed the time scale on the ww sim as well ? Try to increase the substeps, it may help. Like 6-8 on the flip sim and maybre 12-14 on the whitewater sim. Can you also share the file ? It could be simpler if we can have a look at it rather than just wondering around what's going on..

sant0s81 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hey, I'll ask if I may share the scene. And yes, I changed the time scale on ww as well. I say something tomorrow morning. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hey @DonRomano sry for not saying anything yesterday. I actually found out that I had to use a convert. I did not see, that the model the company send me in that scene, was not made in Houdini. So there where lots of collision problems. With convert and changing the scale time, the water looks finaly great. But Maybe you can give me a hint on the whitewater: The water itself is okay so far. Now I wanna get whitewater behind the fin, like a tail. In the following link at 00:22: https://www.gettyimages.pt/detail/vídeo/shark-swimming-under-water-surface-vídeos-de-arquivo/9010-107 I get some whitewater, but only at the front or somehow quite spreaded left and right from my fin. Whats the right parameters to change that I get a nice whitewater "tail" behind the fins? Thx again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hey, just read, that I just have to copy the collision setup (the fish) I am using in the Water DopNetwork simply has to be copied into the Whitewater DopNetwork, too. Now I get these tail I want - just playing around with some settings, but seems like thats what I want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see you making your way through ! Cheers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant0s81 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hey, I try that tomorrow, probably I have to ask again for the custom emitter. Just rendering the stuff and finaly really happy with the result. When I got something to show, Ill post it here. Thx so far again!
