Creating physically accurate particle systems??
Hi again all. I’m fiddling around with a particle simulation where a series of 5-sided cubes are filled from above with falling “raindrops”. I don’t need the reative traits of the water to look realistic, such as ripples and fluid dynamics, but I really need to figure out how to tell the particles to fill the void within the cube.
Picture rain water falling from the sky into a glass where the glass becomes full of independent droplets. I have been messing with soft-body dynamics…but that looks like it will prove to be a MASSIVE render. Is there a particle magnet and repultion system that works witthin C4D?
Thanks so much…

I don’t have the slightest idea, but if you are looking for an immediate solution without much fiddling, you might try PhyTools from Remo. (https://www.remotion4d.net). Haven’t tried it myself as there never seems to be a demo that works on my system and the developer is a bit hard to reach at times, but the latest incarnation has a particle-based fluid system which would be pretty much what you need.

Great site Mylenium! There’s lots of valuable stuff there.
Thanks…

Yupp, DiTools is just nice and I’m sure PhyTools are also (should I ever get them to work properly) ;o).

In TP you can use the repulse & bounce amd gravotu nodes–I believe one of the tutorials in the manual involves pouring sand into a bucket and then pouring it out, but it’s been a while so I could be mistaken.
If you’re using 9.6 you could use the free Fizz plugin (available at https://www.bonkers.de), but unfortunately the plugin doesn’t work in R10.
And I second the PhyTools recommendation–excellent plugin and very easy to use.
Of course if you want to go batsh*t wild you could get RealFlow 4 and do it pretty realistically. 🙂
