RTX Gamecube Intro Fluid Water Simulation - 60fps 4k Ray Tracing - Multiple Versions - Blender 2.92

All simulations upscaled from 1440p to 4k for less compression at higher resolutions.
Check below for details on each simulation.
V1: First working attempt. But could not fill completely due to inflow location, size of pipe mesh & incorrect final cube chamber (top of cube chamber above inflow.)
Also, due to the scale, the sim took way too long. So audio stretched to match sim length.
(started on 23rd March, finished 26th)
V2: Same sim data & mesh as V1, but increased playback speed to match original intro audio length.
V3: Start from scratch, made a more correct & smaller representation of the icon (final cube chamber offset allowing for a complete fill).
But the smaller pipe mesh is also thinner, meaning the fluid escaped the pipe mesh. To combat this, I lowered the particle radius of the fluid mesh just enough to leave all escaped fluid data unmeshed... Or so i thought.
However, a lower particle radius also effected the surface of the fluid inside the pipe, resulting in a choppy surface & lighter colour due to some sort of light interaction between the fluid & pipe (not intended but maybe better).
Audio stretched to sim length.
(Started on 26th March, finished 28th)
V4: Same sim data & mesh as V3, but increased playback speed to match original intro audio length.
V5: New final fluid bake with larger pipe mesh than v3-4 resulting in no escaping fluid data, used APIC for the first time, lowered CFL to 2 & increased cycles samples. Audio strecthed to sim length.
This is my favorite & closest to what i wanted, but the fluid touching the top of the inside of the pipe mesh at the end of the render looks bumpy & incorrect. I tried messing with mesh settings, but was unable to make it flatter than the default mesh settings.
(Started late 28th March, finished 30th)
V6: Same sim data & mesh as V5, but increased playback speed to match original intro audio length.

I'm surprised you didn't use any of the secret GC startup jingles for the numerous versions you made. There's 2-3 variations of the startup jingle that you get by holding down the Z button (on 1-4 controllers) when the startup animation begins. But this is really cool. I love the Gamecube, it's my favorite console, hands down.

Small problem, this doesn't factor in the trapped air that would prevent the middle from filling up all the way.

[@cjer6040]

I mean tbf common sense doesn't factor in infinite water sources either.

[@WhyneedanAlias]

I thought the first one factored that in

slowed down is when you play NGC on composite cables, instead of component.

[@SonicBoy145]

Imagine being stuck in there😊

[@TheBigchekka]

Some nitpicking. i would increase the cameras focal length and the distance to the subject in order to end up with something that looks like an orthographic view. From this View you could even project an image of the Gamecube logo to make sure your model has exactly the same shape in the final render and looks alike! Also maybe it would be cool to have the glass shape that holds the liquid to be fully transparent/hidden in the render view and give the liquid material some Emission Value or glowing particles. But this is completely personal preference. Else awesome Job.

[@d5kenn]

I assume there's no air being displaced in this model? Does the model just use a null space that can be replaced with water, or is it like an actual vacuum?

[@greenman2273]

I don't actually know. But describing it as "null space", I think, is the most accurate I have heard so far. It's as if it's a null space, but the fluid itself is simulated to react as if there is air in some scenarios (but this scenario is a bit of an exception.)
