Nikolaus Schatz shows how you can replace a fluid simulation and use the volume tools in Cinema 4D to coat objects.

We’ve seen tutorials that show how you can create fluid-like simulations without having fluid simulations per se. Maybe fluid dynamics is way too taxing on both the user and the computer, or you don’t have simulation software handy. Whatever the case, you can choose to cheat a fluid sim and practically get the same look in some cases.

Coat Objects With Volume Tools.

Take, for instance, this new tutorial from Nikolaus Schatz that shows how you can use Cinema 4D’s Volume tools to coat objects as they come by on an assembly line. The tutorial comes to us inspired by roger kilimanjaro’s work, as so many of us are.
