Applying Concepts
When trying to generate fluids, there are a number of secondary effects that are normally added to create the sense of realism. Relying on canned effects can only take you as far as prebuilt methods normally do.
However being a Technical Director, one normally needs to push things further and have an underlying insight into how the technology behind the tools we use work in order to create effects that are realistic but controllable.
This video focuses on exposing how to generate these effects from the ground up by using unconventional methods of taking simulated data out of any fluid simulation and using this in your own custom VOP networks.
Fluid In Fluid Integration
Having the ability to allow your fluid simulation to effect other simulations, and having them interact with each other help generate really realistic effects. Not only do your fluid simulations have the ability to advect other objects but others can effect your fluid simulation simultaneously, both through forces and through collisions.
