Doxia Studio explores tricks to optimize a fluid simulation along the surface of an object in Side FX Houdini.

Full-on fluid simulations are notoriously render-hogs. In comparison, there are many ways to optimize a simulation and render; some aren’t the best when trying to create a specific type of effect.

A new tutorial from Doxia Studio explores a nice little trick to optimize a fluid simulation along the surface of an object. Any strategy to optimize will boost the speed and quality of the visual effect.
