Blobmesh...

04 Aug 2005Intro
Ok guys, i have been having problesm with blobmesh - or rather i have no clue how to use it. Some times it works when i play with the settings, but most of the time it doesnt work.
Scenario
I have a scene using Pflow - (Also tried just using regular parray) - of a human head. I have animated it to gradually disperse into the air - and the rendered animation looks good. BUT, what i planned to do next was make it water-like - using blobmesh. So the logical thing to do would be to put a blobl mesh into the scene and assign it to the pflow object / events? lol apparently not - no matter how hard i play with the settings or how high(or low) my particle count is, it just doesnt work - sometimes i get one or to little blobs over the particle mesh but nothing more. Its getting very frustrating because i'm also trying to do other water simulation scenes withOUT using realflow and its getting hard and annoying.
Anyway, if you could help me or suggest any other plugins that would do something similar, it would be great
*I'm just about to rip the insides out of my computer and throw them out the window lol* -
04 Aug 2005tip: go to http://www.3daliens.com and download glu3d. use the Pwrapper tool, its 100x easier and better than blob mesh in every way and can work with every partcle system.

04 Aug 2005Although I apologize ahead of time because I've never used Blobmesh and therefore can't help you in that area...I DO agree with ridestowe in the fact that it's probably NOT the best particle solution for you. Extremely slow.

05 Aug 2005And I will add up (since I've been experimenting for the past 2 weeks with GLU) that glu is really awesome once you get confortable with it, and the support forum is quick to answer questions

05 Aug 2005Thanks guys Glue3d is awesome - but its only a tril
puts a watermark logo on everyframe lol
Ohwell its quite good from what i've used - 10,0000000 times better than realflow but i'm getting constant crashes
thanks guys - even though its a trial its still fully functionable so -

11 Aug 2005Ok more news from the front, if you use Pwrapper with your Pflow you'll get nice effects and your max should handle it, just be very careful with the glu surface part of glu thats the crashorama part of GLU3d
