no apology needed, I just thought you had a clever workaround I didn't understand :) I am using 1 point cloud to do both the foam and the beer. I basically trigger random particles to switch to the next phase as they enter the glass. This new phase has less mass, and a randomized force working against gravity. So far its working really nicely. I'll do a post sim scale to make these air bubbles grow as the move towards the top.

Hi,

"but so far I cant seem to figure out how to get the one phase material
to rise to the top"

I was under the impression that you where using multiple particle clouds
to achieve the foam/beer mix.

I realize now, that maybe the change from bear to foam, particularly the
cascades that you get in Guinness for instance, may not be possible with
such a set up.  Also I imagine the technique your using is quite
different from what I was picturing.


All-together I apologize if this is pointless.

Thanks,

Hello,

Maybe completely ill-informed, but can't you manually animate the
emitters.

Next time please start your e-mail with the bad news :)
I got all exited until I got to your last sentence... what a buzz-kill.
Thanks for the info though

The easiest and fastest way of setting up beer with bubbles that I
have come across is with PhoenixFD.
It comes with a special bubble shader that looks very convinving and
renders fast. Also fluid simulation is orders of magnitude faster than
with Lagoa for a scene of the scale you describe.
Max and now Maya only, unfortunately :-(



Hey guys
I need to make a beer pour shot and I'm trying to get the foam head to
form. My Idea so far is to emit two phases at once, but so far I cant
seem to figure out how to get the one phase material to rise to the top.
I've tried to set the mass at emission to be less on the one phase, but
no luck.
Has anyone done this type of thing before and would like to give me some
festive season advice :P
Thanks guys
G
