Re: best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
its for a rendered animation so a short movie almost, how would you go about doing an animated refraction? -
best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
Hi, i have something like a barge with really large propellers, i need to show the water pushing past them underwater, creating some disturbances underwater etc, much like how a real one works, any solutions to tackling this problem? and suggestions are welcomed, i tried phoenix fd but the simulation is so slow its hard to… -
Re: best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
I wonder if you could adapt the technique Jamie Gwilliam used to make heat distortion on a jet. https://jamiesjewels.typepad.com/jamies_jewels/2011/12/simulating-heat-distortion-in-3ds-max-and-post.html I imaging the process could roughly be similar, using particle emitters and some post process. Likewise you can also… -
Re: best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
For rendering in your DCC, or realtime in a game engine? Animated refraction should be good enough in most cases, plus particles for the bubbles. -
Re: best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
Yeah. In Max with V-Ray I would use a cylinder around the propeller, with a Falloff as a mask for IOR, and a Noise to animate the turbulence. Not sure how Fstorm wants it though. -

What software? What renderer? -

hmmm, yeah phoenix is stil an issue for me tyflow is something i am looking into as well -

Re: best way to animate water pushing past some really huge propellers
If you have PhoenixFD available then go with that. Crazy to let one of the most powerful fluid simulators go to waste. The reason it is slow is because you probably don't know how to optimise the settings for good results vs rendertimes. I haven't used it in a few years, but when I did it was on a mid-range workstation and…
