Water running over object - tutorials?

[evolutionagent]

I created a LogoType for a Non Profit Organisation in San Jose, and they ask me if a bunch of Liquid Can run over the Logo, I got the Logo, put it in Layout, now i am stuck, did anyone knows where i can find a good tutorial on water falling on an object? and ends up laying around the Logo?

Thanx in advance

I am not sure if this would be any help.

I am new to lightwave and have been messing around with hypervoxels and particles. I have recently purchased a dvd from desktop images, "Understanding Hyper Voxels" by Brad Peebler. This gave me a huge jump start on how make liquids. Although all my liquids look very thick, almost like paste. This is something I am trying to workout.

He has a tutorial on pouring mercury and it hits a surface and falls onto another, almost like a waterfall hitting two rocks. The DVD ran close to $50 but I think it was definitely worth it.

I am not sure where you knowledge level of hypervoxels/particles are at but this might be the way to go.

As far having the liquid stay in place, I believe there is a setting where you can set your collision to stick so when the particles hit the object you performed the collision setting to, they will stick to it.

If you find a better way, please let me know.
good luck

evolutionagent, first of all why the mad face?:mad: Try reading the manual, you might calm down some.

Now with that said.

It's actually pretty easy. You use a particle emitter (surfaced with surface hypervoxels) to spray onto the logo. Setup your logo in one layer, your ground object in another layer. Now make each object layer a collision object in the object properties panel(add cutom object:fx collision object) and then adjust your settings.

See this thread for ideas on surfacing your liquid:

I am soo tired,
but i promise i will be better and try it after Breakfast :)
And the Manual?? I do not go trough this, i make the nicest Logos In Lightwave, and stuff, but layer, and animation...
HOwever now i will start with it, i will try it and let you knew my result...

OK i created my object, i have the emitter running over it, texturing is also ok, but how to i "surface it with hypervoxels"?


Thank you

[papou]

c'mon ur soo tired to take your manual?

[evolutionagent]

No,

i just had to sleep, and the manual is nice, but long.....
And i will read it one day in full, but not for now :) NO time

The manual makes a great pillow too. You'd be suprised at what you can pick up via osmosis. ;)

lol... i used dan ablans 'inside lightwave' as a pillow and osmosis works great! just start reading, and when waking up in the morning, you will be suprised by what you know ;) for the thick liquids, i solved that creating much more particles (say ten times more) and sizing the hypervoxels down (say ten times smaller)... great processor is recommended tho... ;)
