Mantaflow Fluid Simulation Guide in Blender

In this video we jump into the domain settings and learn about which settings do what in Blender!

In this video we will take a look at the liquid particles in Mantaflow.

The mesh allows you to actually see the fluid mesh in the simulation. In this video we jump into the settings and learn all about it.

The particle tab looks complicated but it's actually not to bad.  In this video we figure out how it all works.

The diffusion allows you to change the thickness of the fluid and how it interacts with the domain.

The guides are a little complicated but you can use them to create some very interesting fluids. 

In this video we use the effector guides to add some velocity to the fluid.

The collections tab is pretty simple and you can assign flows or collisions to the domain.

The baking cache is what stores all the simulation data and in this video we talk about it.

The field weights are pretty cool.  You can add force fields to the fluid and can create some really cool simulations.

In this video we will be taking a look at flow objects in the Mantaflow Simulation.

Inflows will consistently add fluid to the scene. Outflows on the other hand will take away fluid and in this video you will learn how to use both.

Collisions can create some interesting effects when using fluid. And in this video we learn how they work.

In some cases you might want to add physics to multiple objects at the same time so in this video I show you how.

In this video we take a look at creating realistic fluid materials in Cycles.

In this quiz you will be asked questions about the fluid types in Blender!

In this lecture we take a look at the ocean modifier. I show you how it works and what you need to do to create a realistic ocean in Blender!

In this article I give the student a link to the hdr.

In this lecture we create the ocean material in Blender. I also show you how to easily add foam into your scene.

Here is the link to the free hdrs: http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

This lecture we create the obstacle course for the fluid to go through.  To do this I added in a couple of cubes and planes in Blender!

In this video we create the fluid particle simulation and make it look really nice.

Now we move onto the materials and setting up reflections in Eevee! And also doing everything else.

The rigid body simulation can be very powerful when creating objects falling. In this lecture we take a look at it and create a simulation.

Now we move onto the fluid simulation. In this video we set up the fluid, obstacles and domain in Blender.

Next step is to create the particles to give the fluid a little more interest.

In this video we create the materials for all the objects in the scene.

Finally we will render out the scene and learn how to sequence it out in the video sequence editor.

This article is just some information about this section.

In this video we will animate the collision objects going through the mesh!

In this video we create the particles and I show you a little trick to make the particles a little more random.

In this video we learn how to render glass in Eevee and finish out the scene.

Just some information about the section.

In this video we jump into the domain settings and learn about which settings do what in Blender!

In this video we take a look at the boundary options for the fluid simulation!

In this video we learn about fluid particles in the domain settings. We talk about tracer, float and drop particles.

In this video we learn about the size and viscosity of fluid and how it effects the simulation!

This is the very basic and most used of the fluid types. Whatever your mesh is that you apply the fluid type to will become fluid after you bake in the scene.

Obstacles are basically collisions for the fluid.  It can push the fluid around and create some interesting simulations.

Inflow adds fluid to your scene and you can control how much fluid or how fast it's added. And in this video we take a look at that.

Outflow allows you to take away fluid from your scene and in this video I demonstrate how it works in Blender!

The control type allows you to move fluid into any shape and in this video we take a look at it and see how it works.

In this video we start adding in the objects for our render in Blender!

Now that all of our objects are added lets get into the domain and fluid settings!

In this video we add in the materials and lighting to our scene to make everything look pretty good!

Finally after the render is complete we jump into the compositing tab and finish out with a little bit of color grading!
