Full Version: Fluid floating away?
Hello, I can't seem to stop playing with the fluids.. Anyway, I rendered a 2 second clip at 90fps (3:00 - 5:00 if I remember correct) and I have a few drops of "water" that are floating away. Any ideas how/why this would happen.. And what information do you need from me, if anything?
Interesting! Please post a screen capture of your fluid settings. That should help.
Do you have any forces active in this shot?

You actually have more then 2 some are just hitting the fluid. It does look like you have a positive y force.
I'll get a screen shot as soon as I can. Could it be because I'm using the "smoke" model and just creating the fluid material? I didn't play with anything else, just created the pipe and setup the fluid.
Also, the one that goes up the middle actually goes through the fluid. And the one on the left actually rolls off of the water above it.. Neat stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean but smoke effects in A:M usually make use of negative gravity, or a force, to make the smoke particles rise so this does sound like it could be the cause of the fluid blobbies floating upwards. Strange but possibly useful if it can be controlled. I'll take a look at the project tomorrow.
Well, from the Experimental Fluids Tutorial
"From the library's models tab, drag the \Tutorials\smoke" model to the chor...
Remember, I'm a newbie.. Would that model include such effects? I don't recall seeing anything like this when I did the fountain.

You have the material saved outside the project it would help if you embed it then repost.
The fluid itself is very odd; it seems to have some kind of structural integrity. The structure appears to be of a helix order.
Some particles like the one at the bottom left of the main concentration rises and abruptly stops in mid air, and then it appears to vier towards the expanding concentration where it becomes part of the mass. Other globules can be seen on the right side of the pipe suspended in air until coming into contact with more falling particles.
If you look at the crest of the lower concentration you can clearly see a grid pattern. I am unaware whether that is part of your problem or an anomaly of fluids, but the fluid defiantly looks out of this world.

Sorry.. How's this?
