    All:
    Looking to simulate two liquids mixing (ideally, blood mixing with heroin in a syringe, similar to the John Travolta shooting-up scene in “Pulp Fiction”).
    Thanks for any insight.
    Michael

    Certainly nothing you’ll achieve convincingly with Motion of all things. You’ll want to look into a 3D package of sorts.

    But then… why not simply do it practical??

    Hello, Michael and good day.

    Without looking at the shot and depending on the shot and if you can not reshoot it, maybe you could mix a practical shot with your shot. If you could find a shot of liquid mixing and then composite in Motion. You will need to track it and mix it until it looks real.

    If you need to recreate liquid mixing in a software, then maybe Blender.org could help. It has a great liquid simulation toolset. There is a learning curve, so I would try the first suggestion first.

    Please keep us posted. Have an amazing day! ☺

    Thanks for the reply.
    I’m thinking now I may just go in the direct of modifying/morphing 2D shapes to appear to blend together, the end results along the lines of the Yin-Yang symbol.
    More stylized than actual.
