Yeah, you probably would have to smooth the mesh a lot for removing the dip. Might be better to sim with more substeps to see less of that influence.

As you can see everywhere on the 3D forums people are discussing all the time about their graphics cards now that we can use them for rendering and indeed it is a great acceleration with software that makes use of it. The GTX1060 (with 3GB VRAM) is not so great for RF because the memory is limited a...

Hi Oldcode you probably have to run some experiments for that question. My fastest system is rather different with an i9 and 14 cores, but Dyverso is still much faster when I use the GPU option with a GTX1080Ti. So, if you mainly use Dyversion (like in the plugin-versions of RF) a good GPU is the be...

Hi most simulation softwares benefit more from higher clockspeed than more cores. Unfortunately, these programs don't use cores as efficiently as rendering software, for example. If the simulation has to be distributed to many threads, that could actually slow down the process so much that more core...

Regarding settling down the fluid, that almost always needs use of a drag daemon and k_speed with limit&keep option while the timeline is locked, then save an initial state and continue the sim. I have observed that it does seem more difficult with Dyverso particels in "Liquid-PBD" mod...

That should not happen.... Maybe there are conditions in the simulation that leads to a crash. Instead of crashing the entire software it sometimes happens that RealFlow behaves erratically instead, but needs to be closed and openend again.

I don't use 3Dsmax, but in the RF_connect plugin you probably find somewhere an option for importing not the full range of particles, but fewer. Here in cinema4D I can choose in the "Particle Importer plugin" a parameter called "Detail" in percent and that then shows only the des...

Hi I can understand your frustration with some older tutorials or some that don't answer obvious questions (can I assume that you use RF10 standalone?). The droplet simulation is one of my favourite types of fluid effects and maybe I make a tutorial about it soon. However, I also found that it is di...

Hi I don't think that is possible and maybe it is not the best way to save space because the fluid could be changed too much. However, you can import only a certain percentage of particles when you use the connect plugin for a 3D software for rendering. And there is also an option for compression of...

Great water indeed!
