Fileter Daemon and viscosity

octavio · Postby **octavio** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:14 am

hi,

am using the filter daemon to try to change one fluid with a viscosity of 20 to one with a viscosity of 300, the Container emitter inherits the value of 20 always.

is there a workaround ? i tried it on a fresh scene in case mine was corrupt, but i got the same results.

also tried using and age condition/ collision/condition etc...the container emitter inherits, it seems the properties of the original emitter.

:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

is there a way to make it work? this sort of defeats the purpose and functionality of the filter daemon.

Instead of using a container use a circle emitter and set the speed to 0

Unforunately, the filter deamon is not capable for this workflow, some values (visc is one of them) of the target emitters are just overridden. I had the very same problem a while ago. You can only help yourself by shifting the particles between emitters in the old- school RF4 way, by a Python script.

I didnt know that!

Well then the other way to do it without scripting would be to use the free HotNcold plugin

are you guys shure that it doesnt work? because i had the EXACT same problem with Viscosity and i am using the FÄ°lter deamon right now. Works perfectly for me...

I created two Square emitters. all settings exactly the same. one has a viscosity of 200 the other one 50.

I used Age as a trigger .

I have just tested that exact setup in version 5.0.3.0190 and it does not work.

There must be a work around for this.

Tried passing them over to dumb particles and then back to liquid and still the viscosity carries over from the original emitter.

Why does it work here then? :S

i moved on to a different setup now. when this is finished i will post the exact settings and how i did it so we can compare. The difference between my viscosity settings is pretty high so i gues i would notice it if it did not work.

tried using a Circle emitter instead of a container one, it still doesnt work.

even tried using two filters but no luck.

will have to learn some python then :o

This Script will be easy enough to modify to work with your scene.
