cg219 9 posts25 Jul 2006AH I see. Ya I would need it to flow nicely from the water droplet to the logo. How would I go aboutt doing it with particles? I've never really used particles.

25 Jul 2006I can't say I'm a fan of that video.
the beginning should be fairly simple to recreate in max.
I'd start off with pflow,
Using a vortex spacewarp force I'd have the particles spin around and up.
Then I'd apply some nice blobmesh to it then i'd try out something new like meshering it if I have to, then using a relax modifier or some funky tool to blend the areas where the blob looks distorted because of the unwater like capacity of metaparticles.
to get it to then form into the ball shapes, and spin around again, you could split the particles in two either by using deflectors, or the split operator, then use a reversed speed by object operator to bring the particles from either side to their relative sphere shaped companions, then use another vortex (or two) to spin them at different intervals and then bob's your mary.
(There is like a 40% chance that could work)

25 Jul 2006Oh right, and add lots of motion blur

cg219 9 posts25 Jul 2006Oh thanks alot for that mini tut. What I meant actually though was that, that was the kinda the effect I wanted. Just how it changed from the vortex to the balls. I would need it to turn from a drop to the logo. Could you use the same process??

25 Jul 2006OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh the drop of water, a hard thing to achieve, still haven't done it myself, even after wasting a month of my short life.
Well the best advice would be model it and make morph targets, cause water simulating program will be long waste of time and lots of frustration. Where modeling won't be to long and you'll get closer to what you want to achieve.
Good luck my friend, and hope you post some WIP for all of to enjoy. -
26 Jul 2006last night, got home from work, and found the new 3dWorld magazine came in the mail. Pete Draper has a nice tutroial in there on making liquid splash out of a glass and into 2 ice cubes, using no plug-ins, only Max built in tools. it's definitely something worth checking out before you spend money on Glu3d (although, if you have the money to spend, get it anyway. its amazing!)

cg219 9 posts26 Jul 2006Thanks Lutik, I was thinkin about modelling it all. I might end up going with the modelling senario.
Hype, really? cool, what issue number is it?? -

he uses blobmesh, but the real magic is in how he controls particles. -
