Stunning fluid animation using Houdini
http://vito.lucuslegion.com/page_archive.html
check out Viney animation on vimeo
Is there a way to obtain this kind of simulation with realflow
thanks

Re: Stunning fluid animation using Houdini
Hi Mickael, I think it would be possible to do this in realflow, what exactly is it that you need help on?

Hi bitseq
I am really impressed by how the fluid becomes solid to create the text.
thanks a lot for your answer
ps :sorry for my english

Re: Stunning fluid animation using Houdini
I think in this video they have used a mesh object to help the liquid keep the form of the letters.
You can do this quite easily with a text mesh, an emitter parented to an animated object and using high viscosity and surface tension liquid.
Ps. your English is fine

thanks a lot for your fast answer bitseq
Yes I am sure that the guy used a text mesh to form the liquid to the vimeo logo, but when I see the video, the fluids change is property from liquid to solid to became the vimeo text and I don't know how it can be done in realflow without script.
Thanks for your help it's really interesting to talk about this stuff.

Scripting would help a little but simply using a high viscosity fluid will go a long way too. Be sure not to have any surface tension with high viscosity fluids, they don't mix well and the fluid will explode. If its crashing with only high viscosity and no surface tension then increase the minimum and maximum substeps. Cheers!

Hey thanks Luke for sharing
But How I can change de viscosity property only on the impact and not during all the animation because this is how it's done don't you?

Looks to me like the video has high viscosity fluid all the time, not just on impact.
