You normally start with the particle simulation and cache it. Once you are satisfied with the result you proceed with the mesh:
RealFlow | Cinema 4D's meshing parameters.
With "Build mesh" it is possible to create a single mesh from the current frame.
It takes a little experience and routine to become familiar with the different parameters, but the fundamental steps are always the same:
...
- "Build mesh" creates a single mesh from the current settings. The result is not saved.
- With "Auto Build" RealFlow | Cinema 4D creates a new mesh automatically each time you change a parameter.
If you want to mesh the entire simulation the particle part has to be cached first. Then go to Scene > Cache and press "Cache Meshes". RealFlow | Cinema 4D will read the particle files and create the meshes under the "Cache Folder".
