I’m having the same problem. Anyone who can shed some light on this would certainly be appreciated!

You can set a trigger for your dynamics to start. You may have to keyframe the bottle falling, but you can then, once it falls, trigger dynamics for the bottle and the pills.

I would guess thinking particles are capable of this with the TP align to spline or follow spline xpresso nodes under the object library.

What is the time committment and/or qualifications? I might take a stab at hosting a general Blender forum. I\’ve used Blender some in the past, but I\’m no expert. But I might enjoy the learning experience of helping answer questions that I\’m able to answer or look up.

I will second that request. Blender is a good program and provides much needed competition to the field. I think it’s time to stop pretending the program is not legitimate. I own C4D and love it but Blender is a very powerful program as well. I think if they simply charged money for it people would look at the program in a very different light. I’ve been on different forums and people naturally have a hard time accepting the fact that something available is free that can do what you just paid $1000 bucks for. Myself included. It’s OK! Move on! Let’s share and learn how to make use of this great program together and see where this goes. I’m not suggesting we replace our programs but this would be a fine tool to add to the arsenal and a great first program for those who can’t afford a paid one.
Sincerely,

Make sure you have latest version of the aec importer installed in the ae plugins folder.

There are several xpresso nodes that come with mograph. Look under modules>mograph in the online manual.

After you import your footage into AE, check the interpret footage settings, where it says interlacing off/on, etc. Make sure it matches the way you rendered in Maya. (If you didn’t render interlaced footage in Maya (rendered progressive instead), and AE thinks it’s importing interlaced frames, your motion will jitter the way you’ve described.)

And, here’s a link to the best tutorial I’ve seen to learn how to use Blender’s fluids.
Click on blender – there are some screenshots to look at. The whole series is $50. He’ll show you how to set up your scenes depending on the particular fluid effect you’re after. Project files are also included.

If you really want to learn fluid simulation in Blender 3D, check out CMIVfx. For $50, he’ll teach you how to do the simulations. Fluid simulations require patience, trial and error, and lots of computing horsepower.
