The great david schoneveld with a video tutorial describing how he goes about testing a maya fluid system when developing a new fluid effect in Autodesk Maya. David notes “I have for you my “scientific method” of fluid testing. I use this a few times a week when in heavy development of a new effect. There are so many combinations of settings, it could be arguded billions of combinations, but lets say even a few million. There is no way and no one who can predict how a fluid will react given a set of attributes and influences. This is one of the key parts of fluids that make it hard to learn and harder to master.”
