Choosing a Fluid Solver

How to use the Videos in this Chapter.

Explore how all three solvers handle mid to large scale scenes.

Analyze scene objects and dimensions to help make the correct fluid solver choice.

Explore the importance of scene scale when simulating fluids.

Set up a correctly scaled glass-fill scene.

Adjust project and simulation settings to create an accurate simulation.

Compare crown splashes made with both xpFluidFX and xpFluidFLIP.

Add dynamic modifiers for additional detail and control.

Combine xpFluidPBD with Constraints to produce a water droplet splash.

Manipulate the path of fluid around a can using a spline.

Compare the simulation looks of the three fluid solvers.

Explore the use of xpSheeter and xpFoam for a more stylized look.
