Emit Fluids At Collision Points

[bendingiscool]

Hey guys,

I would like to be able to emit fluids at collisions points (similar to particles' version), for instance if i had some geometry go through a layer of fluid (like a thin layer of mist etc) when the object goes through it, it leaves a hole but how would I go about getting the puff that would go up around the hole when the object hits.

Many thanks

Chris

Yes - using the particles themselves.

Use the particles collision to cause the emission. Make container around the areas of collision.

Using a collision event, use the particle to emit fluid -density.

Use the voxelMaster script that is here, or if you know how to build an expression:

sudo code:

if collision occurs
get particle position
emit fluid from particle

search in the docs for "Event Procedure" or "work+with+collisions".

[codebox]
//simplified code that might work
if(event == 1){
vector $p = position;
vector $v = fluidVoxelInfo -voxel $p.x $p.y $p.z fluid1;
setFluidAttr -at "density" -fv $curDensity[0] -xi $v.x -yi $v.y -zi $v.z fluid1;
}

POOF! You might have to actually separate out the $p and $v vectors into floats.

Have fun.
