Cell size

Hello again...

In my Hybrido Scene, I changed my cell size on my Domain and all of my emitters to from .3 to .15 to raise my resolution.
However, I was just looking at Luis' basic tutorial again and noticed that he also changes the Domain container cell size.

In my scene, I did not do that ... I left it at .3

What would be the effect of that on my fluid simulation? Since the Domain and the Domain container are the parent, would it affect my final particle resolution?

Hi russ,

Changing the cell size for hybrido domain will increase the resolution and there'll be more particles, but changing the cell size for objects will do that the fluid is adjusted in a better way with respect the fluid. The best option is changing the cell size global scale. It is a multiplier for all cell size parameter in the scene.

Thank you Luis,

I will do it globally from now on... but since I have already done it this way, making sure that Domain Container Cube matches the others should result in a better simulation... correct?

It should, but thinking always where the camera will be placed. If the camera is far, yo don't need the fluid properly adjusted to the objects, and the cell size for object could be bigger (never smaller). It will do the simulation a bit faster.
