I was trying out the blender fluid simulator and wanted to see how it rendered in Indigo and here's my first test.
Video (xvid - 2.3mb, quicktime - 7mb)

Some fun facts:

Rendered 4 seconds @ 24 fps in 15 hours or so.
Each frame rendered for +7 mins (+-130 mutations/pixel)

Blender fluid domain = 0.03
Fluid Resolution=125
Initial Ball of liquid=1 meter
Room=3x3x3 meters

I was trying to make water but I'm assuming the absorption is too high:

Code: Select all

	<medium>
		<name>Water.scatter</name>
		<precedence>15</precedence>

		<basic>
			<ior>1.333</ior>
			<cauchy_b_coeff>0.003</cauchy_b_coeff>

			<absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
				<uniform>
					<value>8.000</value>
				</uniform>
			</absorption_coefficient_spectrum>

		</basic>
	</medium>

	<material>
		<name>Water</name>

		<glossy_transparent>
			<exponent>500.000</exponent>
			<internal_medium_name>Water.scatter</internal_medium_name>
		</glossy_transparent>
	</material>

I'm going to do a much longer rendering just for shits and giggles but I want to make sure it look more like water so how should I best set up the material?

edit: Thanks to dougal for his post in this thread on how to do the animation.

It really looks nice!
Water from the Amount of 1000l nearly shouldn't show absorption, I'd say...
Except this, it really looks awesome

Which V of Blender is it?

Very very nice, great work

Its the most recent RC release for 2.43 which has the newer fluids stuff in it.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make a toxic-snot-green type material?

Very nice. Did you import every bobj for the animation, or did you do somthing else?

Water would have far less absorption, yeah.
(unless it's mixed with large amounts of something like die)

Dunno about the toxic green mat, u may wanna try some SSS.

hmmmm

<rgb>1.0 0.5 0.0</rgb> would be a nice colour, I think...
Also would be funny with a bit light emitting

(I know: Not very realistc... A bit nuclear like...)

I just exported everything with the 'Export Anim' button in the Blender Exporter and then followed Dougal2's instructions for setting up the batch files to render each frame.

I'm not looking for realism, but I most definitely would love to do radioactive glow somehow...

I tried SSS but it was just lacking that glow .... I thought it would be neat if a SSS material could be used on a light emitting mesh and then with a touch of bloom the material would be glowing?

Higher than 1 albedo possibilities could help out...

wink wink Ono.

Which just would raise the value of reflected light to over the value, that hits the material^^
But in this case, it would be very useful...

Also, if Emit = Material, you could use Blend for applying SSS+Emit
