Dripping Suggestions

Maya
1

Good morning all!

I have a shot that I have to do for work that requires a liquid dripping into/onto a sponge. The liquid is dripping from a bottle that looks just like a little bottle of visine. I have next to NO experiance with fluids. And if posible, I'd like to include the surface of the sponge to change as it absorbes the liquid.

Bonus Points: I'd like to include dynamics that would make the liquid in the bottle responding to the bottle moving; i.e. bottle upside down would equate to something like a container with a funnel at the bottom.

Please help.... The clock is ticking!

If it is not a close up and you do not need to be 100% physically accurate, one could easily use softbody with goals for something like this. If you do not need to simulate, don't. Simulation is soooo much more time consuming to set up and test.

maya fluid refeers to fluid as in gas (because the equaltions ina gas are equal to the equations in a fluid, ask your firendly physicist why they call them both the same)!

No you wont be making drops with maya fluids. Because thet would mean you have 2 presure fluids but maya allowas you to have one

Wrong tool.

Use softbodies.
