Key fluid simulation nodes

“

- [Instructor] So we have our smoke sim all set up. I changed a few tiny little parameters. Just to refine the sim a little bit. Just kind of change the dissipation to be a little bit higher so we didn't have as much smoke in the scene, and I modified the visualization. So it's just a little bit less dense. Just so we could see a nice representation of our smoke emitting object here on the screen, and what we're going to do in this video, is we're just going to go through a couple of the primary nodes involved in fluid simulations like this. So you can get a sense of what the key points along the way are, alright so let's rewind this. Go to like a nice frame like, we'll go to frame 60, so I'm going to go inside my rings node here, and the main node we want to look at is this one that says creative density volume, I'm going to select that. Now we're going to hit the P key, and you see that this is a node that's a fluid source node. Now I'll go to my viewing up here, and I'll hide the…
