Wondering if you guys will be updating this class with the new features in 2.8?
The new Mantaflow fluid simlulation in Blender 2.8 is really awesome. This channel covered Mantaflow very extensively in the past already before it's integration into Blender. But many questions still remain.
Especially the feature of using "Guides" is very interesting in order to tweak in which directions a fluid* moves. ( * which is the term now for both, "Gas" and "Liquids", the new terms for Blender 2.7's "Smoke" and "Fire" on one hand and "Fluids" on the other hand ).
One of the main differences to Blender 2.7 and older's fluid and smoke simluation is, that "Liquids" now have to be baked in two separate steps:
You first bake the so called "Narrow band fluid implicit particles" (shorter "Narrow band FLIPs") for the calculation of the physical behaviour of the liquid itself.
In a second (optional) step follows the baking of the "Mesh" that you got directly in Blender's old fluid simluation after baking.
PS: Can anybody explain the "CFL number" in the "Settings" panel of Mantaflow's fluid simulation.
The tool tip says "maximal velocity per cell (higher values result in greater timesteps)". But this is still not enough illustrative for me in order to understand the impact of changing that value.
Yes! It is certainly on my list. It's not high on my list though because it keeps changing so fast - soon node based particles will be available, MantaFlow bugs are getting fixed, and some of these effects are even getting their own object type. All of those will be really significant changes. I'm hesitant to record something that will be out of date by the time I'm finished with production, but I'll just have to bite the bullet and just do it anyway and update it later on.
