  Water fluid simulation with objects or logos in After Effects

  Posted by Gidon Burcat on July 22, 2017 at 7:20 am

  Hello everyone,
  I need to create a flow of water, or splashes of water that gradually form a logo or a 3d obj object.
  And then create realistic splashes away or around that logo or object.
  The water needs to be realistic, and the flow needs to be similar more or less to real world fluid.

  I have past experience in Realflow and other fluid simulation packages inside 3Ds max, but that is not what I am looking for, they are precise expensive and complicated. I am looking for a realistic look but not as that complicated, and want to create it in after effects.

  I have experience in After effects Element3d , but flowing liquid is problematic or impossible there.

  I have seen several tutorials with Red Giant’s different tools:
  **Particular, Form and Mir.**
  Each one had a water simulation, but I can’t decide which one will fit my requirements.
  I see Particular has the most features, but then Form can use obj, and Mir has some liquid features.

  Which do you think should fit my requirements?
  Maybe something ekse?

  Thank you everyone.
  Gidon

  All of those have demos so you can test them out.

  Mr mercury is what you want..you can create semil realistic liquids and water flows with the right source images. Actually you can do a lot with it if you play around with it. And Caustics might be another option
