MantaFlow Liquids follow curve force field method

At the end of this tutorial we show you how to make water/liquid follow a curve using MantaFlow and force field physics.
If you want to learn how to be a water bender in blender using real water simulations then this is the tutorial for you.
We make use of the water physics simulation in blender with force field settings to make liquid follow a curve.
This is more organic than the previous tutorial that shows you how to make MantaFlow liquid follow a curve.

Good to see South African dude teaching this kinda of stuff. Sounds like you have some experience with Realflow. Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.

Glad I could help, a better version of this tutorial would be this ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

[@davidwhitaker2559]

thank you!! the was a brilliant tutorial and exactly what I was looking for :)

[@FunwithBlender]

Glad it helped!

For water you should lower the shader IOR - Index of Refraction - to 1.33 (optional of course)

[@FunwithBlender]

Thanks will give it a go

thankyou. i have been looking for this particular tutorial

[@FunwithBlender]

Awesome!

[@abiyyupanggalih854]

thanks for the tutorial its helpful
question tho
can I adjust the curve event its already simulated?

[@FunwithBlender]

You can but you will need to re-bake it. Here is a practical example tut for this tut ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

[@aikonni]

Great tutorial. Could you make the water more turbulent?

[@FunwithBlender]

Yes I can, you need a more powerful graphics card and patients lol....I have already made a slight better version of this although not exactly what you looking for but it would encompass the same idea. ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

[@Deutsch-Pie]

Nice tutorial, please, make a tutorial like liquid animation flows around Cola can like in Realflow app.

[@FunwithBlender]

I added this idea to my trello will make it soon hopefully

[@FunwithBlender]

@Mehman Camalov managed to make an attempt at your request in my own way. ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

cool

awesome

I'm still wondering how to do this fluid force simulation with a complex mesh, 'cuz I've been trying to do this with a human model, but it doesn't quite follow the mesh surface, it just keeps splattering around from the inflow source.
And yes, I have turn the force power to negative value

[@BawonoSA173]

@@FunwithBlender thanks, but sorry, thats that's not what I meant
What I meant is to make the complex mesh object simultaneously the fluid collision effector AND the force object, because I want to make the fluid crawl up/along the shape of the mesh
I'm trying to pull something like 2017 Power Rangers's Goldar & Rita's magic wand forming up, or Terminator 3's T-X outer layer thing

[@Mbg-tech]

Why does the emitter HAVE to be in the origin ? What if you have a scene where you have multiple objects and the emitter can not be in the center.

This is an old tut, this newer one might be an improvement to watch. ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

Thank you

You're welcome here is a tut on making a colar add using this effect. ruclips.net/video/VvnarQMFoEc/видео.html

Does water have roughness?

[@FunwithBlender]

lol it could depending on your art style, material wise less roughness means more shiny more roughness means less shiny...in general

[@MastaPFav]

I'm kinda perplexed. I followed along, but the simulation just stay stagnant at the sphere. Anyway I could send you the file?

[@alwayscoding]

post it there i will help

[@FunwithBlender]

I am so sorry I tried discord I cant get into it, I am on reddit, send the file, screenshots, or a video www.reddit.com/user/CGAfterDark

[@mohsenkhalil87]

@@FunwithBlender same issue liquid moving inside force field only not moving on the curve i made the curve vertical that all i change

[@glennet9613]

He changed the Force Field Shape from Point to Curve very quicky, I missed it first time round.

why water stop at the end of curve?

[@FunwithBlender]

pressure
