This tool is useful for parenting fluid containers to moving objects in your scene. For example, a character carrying a fish bowl and dropping it, or an oil tanker driving on a hilly road. The forces of the animated object will be applied to the fluid in the container.

The fluid must be a volume fluid. Parent Fluid will not work with SPH or FLIP fluids.

1. Create a fluid container and an object to parent the fluid container to.

2. Click Parent Fluid on the Volume Fluids tab of the shelf, select the fluid container to apply to your model, then press Enter.

3. Select the object to parent the fluid to, then press Enter.
