Note
This feature is part of RealFlow | Cinema 4D 2.5 and will be available soon.

 

In simulations with two more more fluids or emitters RealFlow | Cinema 4D tracks the distances between the particles and creates a weight map. These weight maps can be used to render a blending effect for differently coloured fluids. The workflow is pretty much the same as with → channel vertex maps, but there are a few things to consider.

"Smoothing Scale Length" ranges between 0 and 1 (0 = no smoothing, 10 = maximum) and helps to avoid flicker and improve the transition between the colours/materials.

Working with More Than 2 Fluids & Maps

There are some things to consider with more than two weight maps:

  • The maximum number of weight vertex maps is 9.
  • In scenes with three or more maps, the last material must not have a vertex map (weitght0) applied, because otherwise you will get a transparency effect in some areas.

Anotations

  • RealFlow | Cinema 4D's meshing engine is not responsible for the colour blending effect itself – it only provides an Alpha/vertex map.
