Overview ¶
The Attract Fluid tool draws fluid toward a target object. This is useful for simulating a vacuum or any kind of suction force. It can also be used to direct the movement of smoke to condense around a shape. For example, simulating a cloud of smoke taking the form of a genie.
Note
The fluid must be a volume fluid. Attract fluid will not work with SPH or FLIP fluids.
Using Attract Fluid ¶
-
Create a fluid container, a source object, and a target object. You can use either
Source from Volume,
Source from Surface, or
Source from Points.
Note
The source and target objects have to be inside the same fluid container.
-
Click
Attract Fluid on the Volume Fluids tab of the shelf.
-
Select the target object for the fluid to attract to, then press Enter.
-
Select the fluid container that contains the source and target objects, then press Enter.
-
Choose from the popup dialog whether you want to attract to a Volume, Surface, or Points.
