  Ink dye into water, using particleIllusion

  Posted by Okki Tanaya on September 12, 2009 at 9:43 am

  Hi,

  I’m just wondering how to create realistic dispersion of ink dye in water (like in the picture below):

  

  I found similar case on https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/936354#952036, but unfortunately I have too limited time to experiment with 3D particle system. I don’t have professional video camera either to make the live shoot.

  Is there some particleIllusion Ink emitter available or how do I customize an existing emitter for this purpose?

  Thanks in advance,
  Joss

  I’ve been experimenting with creating this type of emitter lately, and I don’t think it’s possible. You need to use a fluid simulation of some sort.

  It just doesn’t work well with an image-based particle system.

  Joss, I was just perusing the AE site, and on the Contact Us page I noticed this…called Ink Effects…

  <code>https://www.videocopilot.net/contact/</code>

  Of course, it’s not a particle emitter effect, and you’d probably have to buy whatever software that was created with, but it might be worth checking out.

  And I don’t think Alan and friends wouild mind my referring you to it, (at least I hope not).

  @Alan:
  Thanks a lot, it’s a new, useful knowledge for me.

  @Kurt:
  I can’t find anything on the URL, except for an ad of a Videocopilot product, on the right side of the page. Which product did you mean?
  Thanks again.

  Joss

  Yes, sorry, Joss, it is a video copilot item. It’s the one called “Riot Gear”. It’s actually reaf footage that’s been keyframed and can be added to your footage as layer.

  I didn’t look very closely, all these great goodies start to merge into one huge Alladin’s Cave sometimes!

  Anyway, since Creative Cow had a link to VcoP, I figured they won’t mind my promoting it.

  Kurt.
