Mist is a fog-like density field and hence completely different from splashes and foam. You will not find any particle-specific parameters. Since mist is a consequence of fragmented splash and/or wet particles, the presence of a splash or wet emitter is essential.

Quick Start

Starting point for splashes mist is always an existing HyFLIP and splash/wet simulation. Here the simulations from → "HyFLIP - Quick Start" and → "HySPH - Splash" are used:

  • Set the domain's and splash emitter's simulation state to → “Cache” (“yellow rocket”).
  • Other, already simulated HySPH emitters have be set to “Cache” as well.
  • Add a “Mist” node from the “Hybrido” shelf.
  • Reset the scene.

...

Open the → “Mist” parameter section for further adjustments:

  • Cell size” can be set independently from the domain's own → “Cell size” value.
  • Solver” should be “Fast” – the results will be good enough.
  • Radius threshold” is the most important parameter, because it controls the amount of foam (see below for more information).

...

The "Radius threshold" parameter depends on the splash particles' lifetime.


Image Added


  • When a splash particle is created its radius is 1. Depending on the lifetime settings, the particle's radius becomes smaller over time until it reaches 0.
  • Lifetime is adjusted under → "Splash Dynamics" or → "Wet Dynamics".
  • You have to decrease these parameters in most cases, e.g. to 1.5 s ("Splash | Wet min lifetime") and 2.0 s ("Splash | Wet max lifetime").
  • Smaller thresholds will reduce the amount of mist.
