This looks surprisingly good. Usually tutorials create mediocre results but here you get what you see. Very nice

[@cleverpoly]

It's cleverpoly

[@RadovanHalir]

Thanks a lot! every second of the tutorial is knowledge, love the shortcut creation tip. Congrats

[@Pompez_]

This Tutorial was amazing! Great Job! I always wondered how to do that kinda simulation.

[@muteebahafeez6455]

it's exactly what i was looking for

[@HankiImagery]

Good detailed tutorial. Fluid simulations tend to be pretty difficult to get right, and following this gave me a decent starting place.

[@A.R.Q.U.I_GAMING]

Great tutorial with valuable insights👏🏽. will try to use it in upcoming projects.

[@cleverpoly]

Thank you!

[@holapro8780]

You are a genius, thank you

[@mpjstuff]

Great tutorial! Just one thing to note, you can use "Realize Instances" instead of using CNTRL+A to apply the mesh so all of this can be done in nodes non-destructively.

[@mpjstuff]

Oops! Spoke too soon. Can't do that proportional editing at 4 minutes in if it's not turned into a REAL curve object --- there's nothing to hold the data at the curve points.

[@cleverpoly]

@@mpjstuff don't worry I watched this video 4 times before uplaoding 😅so everything should work fine

this ain't donut series brov.. intermediate users understand it all and I have been tagged in nice results from beginners on insta.. stop complaining and work with what you got. if you have an issue then comment and ask. you don't have any issues but you're thinking that this part that I skipped over could have been an issue 😂 lol if you're understanding what more do you need ps.. these are old videos and now my tutorials get better

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

I noticed that most video games since about 2009 have an opaque, matte aesthetic with dingy, muted colours. Unreal Engine 5 is the absolute worst for this. It all blends together into this depressing grey-yellow-brown blob. It's bad enough that every movie and TV show looks like this, but now every game is like it too. It's like the ugly log footage you get from a digital camera. But your simulation here is the total opposite and it looks gorgeous! Translucent, accurate colours, and superb contrast. None of that dreaded opacity! It really is a delight for my long-suffering eyes. Why isn't this the norm?

[@cleverpoly]

They probably can't use realistic accurate renderings coz of how slow it gets and so they develop fake and performance oriented renderers which isn't a bad thing tho.. coz that's how it works

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

So how long until we can routinely achieve what you've created here? Will we be waiting until the age of photonic computing?

[@cleverpoly]

@ArnoldTohtFan maybe very soon as you start to see realtime raytracing which is the accurate one

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

The colour grading brain rot which has infected their minds will be a _massive_ ideological hurdle to overcome. It is impossible to overstate just how much it is holding back the industry. It has paralysed Hollywood for nearly 20 years.

[@DonaldDrennan]

Great tutorial, thanks! I think the latest version of Blender, 4.2 LTS, broke something. I am not seeing a Bake button.

[@RawVizualz]

How would you go about to having the whole curve shape covered in liquid ? What settings will that be?

[@bikelifewithalex120]

5:18 Shift S Cursor to selected, almost missed what you said. You must know Blender in and out!

[@secilkurtulus9368]

I saved the file but when I open it again the only thing I see is the cube, spiral water is gone somehow. Do you have an idea of why? Thank you so much for the great tutorial!

[@DaellusKnights]

Pretty cool. Is there a way to make the liquid follow a CLOSED curve in one direction only? Like following the normals? I can't seem to find an answer for that. So far with my limited experience my experiments aren't working out like I want... 😯

[@paulmulvaney8885]

Great Tut!, Any ideas on how to put a face on the end (The Abyss)?

[@cleverpoly]

You mean like a water outflow?

[@paulmulvaney8885]

[@Doron512]

if i add any keyframes to camera movement, it wont show up when i render the animation. The camera will move when i preview it, but the final render will have no movement. Am i doing something wrong?

[@Me_Abrar]

really nice tutorial, question, how can i limit the particles being emitted when simm is calculating? like what if i want it to be shorter fluid length?

[@austinbentley9599]

Great tutorial! What if I want to terminate the liquid once it reaches the end of the path?

[@cleverpoly]

add an outflow or animate the inflow settings

[@ansafzal4544]

Bro waiting for part 3 of product animation series.

[@cleverpoly]

Consider this as a part of that series! You're going to need this in future And part 3 is coming too

[@chikaokorafor5495]

nice one cleverpoly👍, but am not able to render in cycles and i don't know why

[@TheAllin1der]

I get lost at 3:48. What're you doing to be able to edit the curve?

[@BBanzaj]

i have a bit of a problem with the water kinda staying at the bottom of the spiral and some particles returning after about half way up the curve... is the solution to just increase the force field and rebake it?

[@electriknostalgia]

I'm having the same exact problem as well..lmk if you ever figured it out!

[@buygraphics5287]

You are a gem bro ❤ however I want to know what are your pc specifications and graphics card?

[@isiajank]

hi i got a problem with settings to force field, there s no option 'curve' in shape settings, anyone has an idea which one i should use from below: point/ line/plane/surface/every point ?

[@robertpambudi5991]

same problem. I use 4.0 blender version

[@AnnetSergeevna]

I have same problem((

[@electriknostalgia]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I can't get the force fields and flow object to work properly...after baking the data the water just falls below the flow object. Is this just a matter of setting the force field strength higher?

[@EvelynBrookhavenYt]

Same here happening with me @cleverpoly can we please get help??

[@rubyredpandaUA]

how to change the direction

[@Cevizyon]

Force field feature in my scene "hair partical sys." What do you recommend I do to change the orientation of featured objects?

[@Filoalone]

hi, awesome tutorial! one question, how can i control the amount of fluid emitted? i'd like to control the stop emission of my sphere

[@cleverpoly]

you animate inflow value

[@yuddd0146]

Why is the radius of my force field small, even though I increase or decrease the curve size, it still doesn't change? That leads to the force of my water after baking not being enough to go up

[@cleverpoly]

dunno maybe you're using wrong button

[@thatboykav2618]

does it only work on blender 3.6 cause i cant put the displacement modifier to the curve mesh

[@cleverpoly]

I converted it to mesh first

[@sunkox5940]

great tutorial but i have an issue for some reason the water particles dont go in the way they should go =m they tend to just go to the center of the force field and tbh that drove me mad lol.

[@cleverpoly]

it might be the problem with your force field try making a fresh one

[@zainiartz295]

how did you learn curve geometry nodes? wanna learn from scratch

[@kitsunetay]

After baking the cube nothing shows up. Only in the first frame and it's red. How can i scale the particles ... or how do they even show up??

[@cleverpoly]

simulations don't always work as you want them to be and in blender you have to look out for the smallest mistake but I dunno what's goin on in your scene, so I suggest you start workin in a new file and see where things go wrong, practice with general simulations first to understand the blender logic

[@dimibzh]

Hey! Great tutorial! I was wondering if you would be able to tell why my simulation doesn't move from point A to point B instead it is like a tap, water keep running and building up on my curve?

[@cleverpoly]

set the flow from inflow to geometry

[@dimibzh]

@@cleverpoly So the sphere is Flow, Liquid, Geometry. The curve is Force, Curve. The cube is Domain, Liquid. The only thing I changed is the speed of the simulation.

[@darknessringo5989]

I did this with 4.1, but the problem in cycles mode doesn't show me, the domain show me as boy, so i can't see this

[@adityasemwal008]

Hey when i rendered this out water was moving very fast do you have any solution? How can i control the speed of water

[@jyotpatel822]

Great Tutorial ! But,i have an issue in the fluid.some part of the fluid is moving downwards after some time(not all fluid flow upwards).is there any solution for that,or any serting i need to change to flow all of the liquid upwards along the curve.and how can i make the liquid look more bursting? I don't know if you might be able to understand the problem,but am not able to find any solution for that,hope you can help!

[@cleverpoly]

It's a what if situation with simulations they are not customizable in realtime on specific frames.. so say what If I move this curve, scale it or make it long and maybe turn off gravity and then bake and see what the simulation does

[@cleverpoly]

so just try simple things and it will take you closer and closer to the desired result

[@user-ig5gp8vq5w]

what to click to make window display as

[@budikool1421]

Very cool tutorial. but why is my liquid volume different from the tutorial?? My liquid looks like it's flowing a little. can you help me?:')

[@dandiinc4894]

Why does greater then in blender 3.6 not appear, what should I do?

[@legocreators]

Just search for a compare node then change the selection box to greater than on the node

[@Tranmaart]

Nice work! What's your GPU? All the time when i try to use Bump node like this, my fps drops to 2-5 fps. Terrible, and unable to work with it. I tried Blender 2.93LTS ; 3.3LTS ; 3.4.1 ; 3.5 ; 3.6 LTS. All the same stuttering with using Bump node.

[@cleverpoly]

I think bump in evee or shading mode is not related to GPU it's your cpu and ram etc

[@premedguy2378]

I didn't have the proportionality thing when I had to twist the curve. :(

[@premedguy2378]

Why does it take so long for my computer to bake the animations?

[@premedguy2378]

Hey have you tested more water say for a longer bigger simulation?

[@user-fj2rr9wj8y]

Any idea how to keyframe the simulation? so people can control the speed WHATEVER he want??

Yea there's a value for that in domain.. But you could probably just export alembic and import it back to change the whole speed stuff

thanks very much for that imformation. I will look into it!@@cleverpoly

[@damnfail9316]

how do you stop the fluid for reproducing any liquid on certain frame. mine just keep flowing..

[@cleverpoly]

So I set my sphere fluid setting to geometry which will give me the fluid not more than the sphere. If you want it to end somewhere magically you could use and outflow object
