Fluid Not Interacting With Field?

[annmarie-cernoch]

Hello all-

I have created a smoke ring by way of a 3D fluid cylinder volume emitter. It looks lovely finally, however, now I can't get the fluid to interact with my turbulance, air field or any other field i put on the fluid shape. I know the cache is deleted so I should be seeing the real simulation and I know they are connected cuz i checked it in the dynamic relationship editor. Any ideas would be greatly appriceated.

Thank you so much!

Hi,
depending on the size of the fluid container and the strengh of the fluid-own attribut settings you have to take higher values than default. Try a magnitude of 50-100, set the attenuation to a small value like 0.15.

U can also go to ur fluidShapeNode, and under Display check VelocityDraw. Sometimes it's helpfull to see, where influence is taking affect within the container.
