Basics settings1:01:27
Explore RealFlow 10 basics: set up the program, navigate the interface, manage cache and export settings, and build particle simulations with standard and domain systems.
Particles systems and force1:07:45
Explore RealFlow standard particles and the liquid system, adjusting gravity, scale, resolution, and sub steps, and compare domain and standard particles with cuda gpu acceleration.
Import-export objects46:11
Export and import objects between RealFlow and 3D scenes using the SD File Export and selective objects. Manage multiple objects with folders and animation keys across formats.

Small-scale simulation1:22:55
Explore small-scale liquid simulation in RealFlow by creating a milk pouring scenario, optimizing geometry, emitters, gravity, viscosity, and mesh generation to visualize milk flowing into a bottle.
Milk compositing11:02
Present a milk simulation render and simple compositing using Corona renderer, including masking the milk and bucket, adjusting materials, lighting, and motion vectors for a polished preview.
Working with splines and using noise51:12
Learn to create juice-like liquid simulations in RealFlow by shaping splines with noise, using object emitters, control points, and noise fields to drive curved, realistic flow.
Viscous liquid43:20
Learn to create a viscous liquid simulation in RealFlow 10 by tuning viscosity, gravity, drag, and friction, and shape chocolate-like particles with an attractor and texture mapping on a mesh.

Diverso waterfall43:08
Create a realistic diverso waterfall in RealFlow using a two-stage approach. Use surface water emitters for the top and a particle mesh for droplets and splashes.
Snow simulation43:17
learn to build a snow scene in RealFlow 10 by creating a snowman with static and active particle domains, emitters, gravity, and transfer filters to simulate falling and piling snow.
Sand simulation22:32
RealFlow sand and snow simulation teaches how to set up ground and domain, configure grain particles, gravity, friction, and a noise field for realistic granular and snow effects.
Snowman render1:14:51
Render snow in RealFlow by combining static and active particles, mesh for contact zones, and Krakatoa outputs, then import into 3ds Max with APC/BRT formats, add motion blur, and composite.

The principle of Hybrido33:28
Explore how hybrido differs from standard particles, create a domain and a meter, adjust voxel and cell sizes, and simulate liquid with gravity and velocity.
The Whirlpool55:14
Create a whirlpool simulation in RealFlow by configuring a domain, enabling gravity and a vortex, adding ocean force and waves, then refine with noise fields and a Maxwell render mesh.
Falling on water1:17:46
simulate a plane crash into water using RealFlow 10, define domain and container setups, and refine splash behavior with velocity thresholds, caches, and particle types for realistic plumes.
Flooding the city55:55
RealFlow 10 lessons teach how to simulate a flooded city scene, creating water with containers, cars and buildings, using kill volumes, friction, noise fields, splashes, and mesh caching.
City compositing41:00
Track the scene, build geometry, and import RealFlow simulations for city-scale compositing. Render and composite cars and liquids with color correction in Nuke and Max.

Requirements

In this lessons we will learn all from the beginning, so you don't need to have any special knowledge from RealFlow.

Description

Fluid simulation is a special section of visual effects. The simulation process has a large number of features.

The liquid has a number of properties that are not presented in other systems. And we have a deal with density, viscosity, pressure and even surface tension. All this greatly affects on the result. And if you also take into account the different scale of the simulations — from drops of dew on the leaf to the giant tsunami, it becomes clear — why it is so difficult to create such things in CG.

Some 3D packages have their own tools for fluid simulations Houdini — Fluid Solver, 3ds max — PhoenixFD plugin, Maya — Bifrost, Cinema4D — RealFlow plugin.

But, unlike them, RealFlow was created directly for this kind of simulation — liquid. From the first versions, it has a big changes and every time it becomes more interesting and diverse in terms of tools and opportunities.

In this package, using the example of various scenes, I’ll try to show you the possibilities of the program in different situations, using different particle systems, tools and scales.
