I’ve been working with max for years.
endless expensive plugins havent promised anything as neat as what youve done. (fluids i mean)
i’ve just got to get up to speed with it now.
YOU have shown me what is possible.
Thank you.

can u use this in the game engine?

Basically yes I think. But it would be too complex to render it in real time. A today’s computer couldn’t really handle it.

what if you have one of those home built computers that you spend about £2000 on?

That was cool, but looks complicated without the game engine. Would the bake tool work the same way, when working with water?

sadly blender doesn’t has such a good metric system and it really lacks precision. Everything else it’s great, it’s free, has it’s own game engine and fluid simulation system things that doesn’t exist in a standard 3d max install. And what’s more incredible that blender’s install kit has less than 100Mb while 3d max or maya come on DVD’s. Sadly because I have to work with precision and not with approximations I’m bound to 3ds Max, for now. I hope in the future Blender will have more precision

@MultiPianista it seems you cant read so there is no point in trying to explain anything to you.
Try figuring out what the text at 1:09 means and whats written in the video discription.

@Nintendomanic
that would give you about 0.01 fps if you are lucky.
This kind of Fluid Simulation probably takes about 1 hour on a normal Quadcore processor and then another half hour or so for the lighting calculations per frame.

what if its simulating rain that dissepears when it touches the ground

@ Thoran666
Yeah, in 1994 perhaps…
If you had a properly optimized fluid simulator that could utilize CUDA, you could easily have this in realtime. I have not tried Blender’s fluid simulator, but I’ve worked with RealFlow a couple of times and even with large resolutions it’s surprisingly fast. A single frame is calculated in seconds, not hours.
Also, in realtime you wouldn’t be raytracing but using pixelshaders instead.

We are not talking about RealFlow or Cuda or Stream or OpenCL. This is Blender. And Blender has a horrible performance when it comes to fluids or physics in general.
