Great tutoriall ! Thanks. Any chance for similar but with a simple boat instead of a donut ? I tried but i don't know how to stop the boat from flipping to the side. Or even how to make it move in one direction ?
Easiest thing to do would be to make a very short cube that's roughly the width and length of your boat. Use it for all of the dynamics and then parent your boat to the cube. See if that gets you close enough.
@@thegreatszalam that could potentially work but still not sure how to stop the cube from flipping on the side. It eventually will. Plus still don't know how to control its speed and direction. This only let the cube/boat float on the water.
Great how does it look/work with mesh. To get the best fidelity in sim my particle radius is normally 0.2 - 0.05. Could you please update / add more information online
Hi, You can set up multiple particle groups on your floating object, which can each have their own nxFluids tag and density settings, if you would like a scene to demo this, head over to our discord channel: discord.com/invite/X2zYY7qEyr -Thanks
Very cool; I like more realistic sims such as this. For a more complicated floating object, say a ship with 200K polys, would Nexus be able to handle that or would a simplified, low-res mesh version be advisable?
It's possible! but it would depend on the complexity of your scene and your machine specs. However, it's nearly always more manageable to work with a low poly version. -Thanks

great as always! Thanks Bob

Hi, question, what if i have 2 or more objects in the water and they intersect, not colides 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you!
Excellent!
Excellent - many thanks! How can we set up density maps, in order to create ballast within objects?

@@INSYDIUMLTD Cool - thanks so much!
great tutorial!
Amazing

It should be simulated with a low Res mesh. There is no point simulating it with dense polygons
@@ariaperdana24 That depends on the shape. I've had issues in the past with low-poly meshes not being accurate enough.

@@INSYDIUMLTD Thank you. 🙂
thanks Bob.. you'll need density maxed to 50000 to yank me.
Hey everyone. switch to Houdini 20. billion times better and cheaper !
And it's a trillion times more difficult to learn.

xparticles still cannot build boats that sail on large oceans.
