Once the cube is at the right size and position, I tell Realflow that this object will become the emitter for the simulation. To place the cube in the right position, use the shortcut W, or click directly on the move option from the menu window. I will scale it by using the shortcut R key on the keyboard or by using the Scale button on the top menu and then dragging the handles in all directions that I need to resize until it is the size I want. In this case I am going to select the cube. Then I add and object from the objects menu. I don't need more than one domain so I will delete the second Domain I created by selecting it and hitting the delete key on the keyboard. Another method to get the same results is: Right click on the nodes window and select Add… Grid Fluid. First I add the domain from the top menu. We also require Gravity, or any other force that will have influence on the particles produced by the emitter. It could be a Realflow object like the ones shown here or any object imported from an external 3D application 3. This picture shows the basic elements required for HYBRIDO: 1. Domains are created by default with a dimension of 10 meters in all axes. In simple words, a Domain is just a container for the simulation. The workflow for HYBRIDO simulations is different to what users are accustomed to because everything will occur in a domain. Let's get started so you can see how HYBRIDO works. Now, Realflow 5 comes prepared with the necessary tools to automatically compute the particles that will add realism to your scene. In older versions of Realflow we needed to use Phyton scripting to simulate these secondary particles. These are the equivalent of secondary particles in Realflow.

When water hits a rock, rolls over itself, or crashes on a shore, the impact results in sprays and smaller particles that tend to be suspended in the air or particles of air suspended in the liquid. Trying to make liquids with convincing realism requires to replicate what happens in real life. Prior versions of realflow were limited in their capacity to simulate large rough oceans, waves breaking or crashing on the coast, very big floods, or severe storms. Now that I have demonstrated some of the most basic commands we can start with the main discussion. Please come back to this channel to watch. In upcoming tutorials I will explain the basics of the Realflow interface. To pan the view, hold the ALT key on the keyboard and press the middle button or wheel on the mouse and drag the mouse left… right… up… or down. Then, drag the mouse up to zoom in and down to zoom out. To zoom in and out press the key ALT on the keyboard and at the same time press the right mouse button. Then, drag in all directions to rotate the view to your needs. To rotate the view, hold the ALT key on the keyboard and your left mouse button simultaneously. You can also rotate your point of view, but this can only be done if Perspective is the active window or the active point of view. This can be done from the top menu if you select view, …point of view… The shortcuts on the keyboard for the different points of view are: 1 for the top view, 2 for the front view, 3 for the side view or, 4 for the perspective view. To appreciate better objects and fluids, I need to change the point of view. There are four basic views: top, front, side, and perspective. Let's add an object from the object menu.
#Hybrido realflow tutorial how to#
First I will show quickly how to navigate in Realflow for those who are new to the program. Later tutorials will show how to bring Realflow simulations into 3D STUDIO MAX and MAYA and how to produce a final rendered animation. Another set of tutorials will cover each one of the parameters available for HYBRIDO and how they have an effect on the simulations. Then I will give an overview of what HYBRIDO is, and what are the steps required to setup a simulation that will create a core fluid and secondary particles.

In addition, I will also explain very basic concepts of global and exclusive links which are paramount for the proper HYBRIDO calculations to be successful. For the new users of Realflow I will quickly show how to change views Rotate Pan and zoom.
#Hybrido realflow tutorial series#
These series of tutorials will briefly explain the necessary steps required for setting up a HYBRIDO simulation. Hello, This is JCO with a Realflow 5 High Definition tutorial I am going to talk today about HYBRIDO HYBRIDO stands for HYBrid larRge dImension LiquiD sOlver This is the latest approach that Realflow 5 uses for large scale simulations that require millions of particles Among the amazing things that HYBRIDO incorporates, is the capability for automatic creation of what Nextlimit calls secondary particles such as splash, foam and mist.
