Hi, how can I approach this effect on the above link 1:35? It seems like they use fluids with high viscosity…. but I am thinking that maybe is possible in SOPs using vopsop and the pointcloud. I have attached a hip file where it 1 animated line and 3 vopsops where the first get the distance of every point in the line from its closest end point. The second vopsop computes the fake-gravity for the sticky fluid where the points that are far from the end points and close to the center of the line are affected more from the gravity and in similar way the third vopsop computes the thickness of the fluid along the line by editing the pscale attribute. Any suggestion for better and/or more efficient way to achieve this effect as realistic as possible?
