Use Initial State

Initial states can be created and activated/deactivated individually for each "Fluid" node (also see "Initial States" under → "Workflow - Video Hub" ). When

• enabled the initial state will be used
• disabled the initial state will be deactivated temporarily

Create Initial State

This function lets you set any simulation frame as a new start preset. When you reset the scene the simulation will be starting from the previously defined initial state. The associated initial state file will be written to the scene's cache folder specified under → Scene > Cache. Here is the workflow:

• Simulate (click on the "Play" button in the "RealFlow Maya" shelf or the "Scene" object's "Attribute Editor")
• Stop the simulation at any time and press "Create Initial State.
• Set “Use Initial State” to “Yes” if necessary.
• Rewind the timeline to frame 0; the initial state is shown.
• Simulate.
