Keeping liquid in moving container
Hi, This is my first ever forum post so hope I can get some help here.
I'm making one of those loop animations and have a bottle on a conveyor belt that comes along, gets filled and moves off.
The liquid fills the bottle but when it moves the liquid moves to the side but some breaks through the bottom side.
I've tried all sorts, making the glass wall thicker, adding an animated K Volume daemon which kind of worked but surely it can't be this tough.
So basically.
spline lathed bottle with collider tag (tried adding a volume tag but saw no difference)
Liquid with gravity
I'm trying a lot of tutorials to learn but I cant seem to find any where the filled object moves around keeping the liquid inside.
Thank you

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
I think this is related to the Iso Surface.
Go to the object in the Display Tab and turn on Iso Surface.
then go to object tab and adjust the cell size and the surface offset until the object turns fully purple. then turn of the iso surface in display and you should be good to go.
Perhaps you also have to turn on constant collision detection in the object detection

Thanks, I have constant collision turned on now but still the same. I can’t find the iso surface options.
Which display tab? Thanks for your help.

These are the tabs I was talking about. see screenshots

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
Massive apologies, I’m using cinema 4d realflow. I wasn’t sure how they’d differ but it doesn’t seem to have this option.

You can try to enable "Show Collision Geometry" in the collider tag

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
Thanks ChristianZ. I found similar last night. I’m unsure how to change the collision geometry though. When I applied it I could see gaps. Do I need to toggle something on or off to get the controls so I can edit the shape?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
So I think I’ve found it thanks, I’ve added a volume tag and changed the surface of set in there.
Thanks to both of you. Massive help.

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
Yes, there are the parameters in the volume tag such as volume mode, cell size, surface offset that influence the "collision shape" of the object. If that does not help, a re-design of the object would be necessary (which can be a different one than the one you show in the rendered image).

Re: Keeping liquid in moving container
Interestingly, in my projects using RFC4DR3 it was easier to not use the option of the volume tag and instead only use the collider-tag on the moving object. The "trick" for good accuracy in the collision detection is then to simulate at much higher frame rate (slow motion) than in the final movie.
