3D Rain Simulation - Blender/Mantaflow Tutorial Project Files
Hello Folks
These are Blender 3D - Rain Liquid Simulation Project files from my tutorial session from Mantaflow/Blender Introduction series on Crossmind Studio youtube channel. Mantaflow ( Blender 2.91) ( Also added 3.2 version file with updated simulation and cache)
The folder includes all the setup files of scenes that are seen in the trailer of course and also includes 3d basic sim setups that were made during the tutorial session.
Render setup is done with Cycles render engine.
So here are some basic instructions about files provided. In case you need it.
If you haven't watched the tutorial, you can visit this link to follow the session.
There are four versions of files to follow along the tutorial. I dont think you need all of them, but just sharing versions in case of need.
Version 1 and 1A are starting basic setups as seen in the tutorial with all the basic stuff setup.
Version 2A and 2B are more or less the same. 2A have bigger splashes and 2B have smaller splashes.I have included the cache for version 2B ( final settings) for just 40 frames to preview.
Version 3 is the render file. As mentioned in the tutorial and in the description of the product, this was made using blender 2.83. But i have also added another file with latest version 3.2 with cached simulation as well.
and there have been many changes after that in Blender Mantaflow. So if you try to rebake the scene in 2.91 it would give different results. However, i have already baked the file and provided cache (in zip file) which you can extract and load it in the domain cache path. This file is just for the render setup. It was made using same method. Feel free to study it with older version of Blender (2.82-2.83) or you can download the updated file which was made using blender 3.2 and study its parameters.
About cache - As mentioned above already. Not every version is pre-baked. Only the final result file 'version 2B, and render file ' Version 3' Have baked cache. Please extract the cache provided separately for both and load them into the domain cache path to preview the animation.
Textures used for the ground plane are from texture heaven which are free to download on their website.
