      Hello Dr. Sassi,
      I want to create an animation like the one on Youtube
      https://youtu.be/b2YEjE3OWPo?feature=shared (10 sec - 41 sec), where water flows and splashes realistically in a tank. Is this animation made by RealFlow plug-in, or it can be realized by the native C4D? I tried to create it with Emitter, volume mesher and some simulation, however, I think the effect is not good enough. Would you please give me some advise how to make the animation more like
      Particles Fluid.2025.5.c4d

      Thank you.

        Hi Yu Ken Tsai,

        Thanks for the scene file, and the timestamp.

        There is no real fluid behavior possible. Fluid would require a lot of interaction among all particles.

        The trick for the scene in question would be to cheat.

        Please have a look here.

        I have changed the iteration and the Scene Scale, added Dilate and Erode to it, and animated a cube as a fill cheat.

        This is just a sketch; you might need to fine-tune it.

        All the best
