`opinputpath("../",1)` For anyone else looking to the comments to copy and paste the expression at 4:30

Everything is explained really well on this channel, thanks for the content man!

very cool, thanks for this.. i did tons of flip sims in houdini.. and most of them were small splashes.. so.. i have a tip or two.. for me, the most important thing, regarding general look of fluid, was understanding of relation between Particle Reseeding and Particle Separation.. my thinking was: iterate in high particle separation, and when you are happy, lower the separation for more resolution.. but everytime my sim blow up.. now, i see it like this: particle separation is for world scale, for example, if you drop 1m3 box, and decrease particle separation enough, it would look/behave like a pool of water.. and if you increase particle separation enough, it would behave like a drop of water.. to get more "resolution", aka, avoid jagged edges and/or fluid separating to droplets, there are couple of things to tweak.. one is Particle Reseeding, to get more particles in the same space (smoother mesh) increase Surface Oversampling.. i sometimes went to over 20 for tiny fluids.. Separation tab gives you control of, well, separation:) I found it useful when i wanted to control how quickly and hard everything separates, also influences shape a lot.. Surface Tension in Volume Motion i use a lot for final tweaking of looks, after i got most of the things dialed in, it gives great boos to natural feel turning fluid to nice blobs and thin films.. it really helps with uniform look of sim (everything turning to strings or droplets at the same time).. those are like my main flip parameters i dial in on almost every flip sim i make.. regarding meshing, jagged edges and mesh flickering (tiny holes closing and opening from frame to frame) were my biggest problems.. smoothing/dilating helped, but i at the cost of detail in most cases.. jagged edges get solved by oversampling in sim itself.. i usually decrease voxel scale to 0.5 and play with droplet scale and influence scale to match my desired look.. and i use filtering lightly.. for flickering, i haven't found a better way, but this works great for me.. i cache all substeps and then mesh all the steps (it prolongs meshing a lot).. then i retime result to regular number of frames.. it gives me butter smooth meshes, but it is kinda annoying.. the main thing is to never get too much of a movement between the frames.. the faster your particles move, the more substeping you need for smooth results.. and there is sourcing.. but we all know the importance:)

Thank you very much! Your tutorials are the most professional and friendly.

With the static object the volume sample method isn't being used because bullet is building it's own collision shape which is why you had to change the hull type. If you remove the sop path setting from the settings at the top it should correctly use the volume sample method. Also worth noting, if you use the volume sample method, is that the division method and uniform divisions settings do nothing, it just uses the volume's settings. Oh and in the flip object, under guides/particles, setting the visualization to particles instead of sprites is a better way of visualizing the fluid.

omg....best explanation tutorial ever!!!

Sir, you're the best.

Thank you!

super thx

Before cube falling(

Use a File cache node to sim, use save in background on it. It's faster than simulating it in the viewport.

Thanks for the tutorial! You are amazing!

How can i bring back the ice cube, i have only glass and liquid in my renderview?

What happened netflix dark tv series God particle ?

can you point me in the direction of the shading and lighting? I am following this tutorial to the teeth and it has been the easiest tutorial to follow!!

did you just delete the old version and re-upload this tut? I thought I've watched this days ago.(or maybe I just did a time travel...?)

Great tutorial with the expression for the Sop Path what is the keys on windows for backtake.

Hello, for some reason the file doesn't download to continue with this tutorial. Also after deleting the points from the wine glass what do you do after words? It seems you cut the video and add different points. Thank you.

awesome..!!! plz put rendering tutorial..

My fluid is falldown from bottom of glass before cube falling in glass.? How can i fix this🙁

render without displacment?

I can't see any ice in dopnet at 9 minutes and 5 seconds. Ice is visible inside the dopnet. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Imagine having 35GB of ram to spare

Whats ur PC specs sir?

Beautiful tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I am quite new to Houdini especialy to Fluids, so I hope this question does not looks too foolish.. but is the FLIP simulation supposed to be as fast as it appears in the video? :0 I have 64GB of RAM and an Intel(R) core(TM) I7 -7700 CPU 3.60GHz and it takes an eternity to simulate 35 frames. Is this as it is supposed to be or I am making some mistakes?

Why do we need both a collision object and a collision volume?

How can I get the ice cube back. Sure I can Object Merge in another Geo node, but then it is just a static cube. Putting the property back to * rather than only flipsolver1 doesn't bring the cube back for me. It looks kind of weird without the ice cube, where an impact crater appears in the flip sim.

yea... where the ice cube go at last?

Hello, Sorry when I creat the glass and the liquid via flip object, instead of remaining in the glass, the fluid gets absorbed into the glass and disappear. Can you help me fix the problem?

I feel like I keep freezing but i know my rig is pretty good..?

nice tutorial bro i am just having problem my gravity is affecting the fluid

I did excatly 100% same like your steps but flip particles start to fall down and dissapear in second

The fluid is passing through the glass in my case. Not sure why.

These two blast nodes just really hurt man... I don't know why. Feels wrong.

how can i visible the cube?

hey! Can we get a tower destruction tutorial with debris,smoke and explosion from start to finish. A lot of guys might want that. Thank you

Ploy fill isn’t closing the hole, pls help

Hello, I did the tutorial step by step but the liquid comes out from the sides, what can I do thanks!

That expression shit is killing me. Isn't there another way or at least an explanation for why it doesn't work when I enter it manually.

the particles set 0.0005 is a huge number..

Please slow down when you do these!
