Mesher not seeing particles

Post by FlorianK » Thu Jun 13, 2013 12:52 pm

I have some liquid in a bottle (SPH), low resolution (~1.0) and try to mesh that using the standard mesher. No matter what algorithm I use or how I change settings, it just meshes the surface and seems not to see the body of the liquid.

The legacy mesher works, but I do not want to use it for its rather limited capabilities.

Any ideas?

Seems to be working fine here but maybe I've misunderstood (highly probable).

Doesn't the mesher usually just mesh the surface? The surface is a determined by the body of the liquid.

Hey Florian,

Could you send us a single frame of the particle files and the xml of the scene to troubleshoot?
Cheers,

It works when setting the (Particle Filter) Splash parameter to -1.0 (Thx to Gus and Luis in NL support).

Ahhh, see what you mean now.

This is the standard mesh (strange not thinking the legacy mesh as standard anymore) with default settings:

And with splash set to -1:

Gus, any idea when the first patch will be released?

Hi Sean,

We don´t have a date yet since it depends on multiple factors.
Will keep you posted.
