Daemons : Surface Tension

"Surface Tension" enhances a fluid’s tendency to accumulate and form drops. Fluid containers also have an individual parameter for "Surface Tension". Both, daemon and fluid parameter can be used together.





RealFlow Scene

In RealFlow | Cinema 4D it is possible to use multiple "Scene" trees in the same project. To link a daemon to a different scene tree drag the appropriate "Scene" node to this field.

All fluid, rigid, and elastic containers inside the drag-and-drop field will be affected by the daemon. If there is only one container in the scene it will be linked automatically. Otherwise the connection has to be established manually.

Model
  • Curvature: The classic way to compute surface tension.
  • Curvature-Cohesion: A more accurate model.
Strength

This value defines the overall strength of the daemon’s force. All negative and positive settings are valid. With very high settings you might observe highly accelerated particles and we recommend adding a → "k Volume" daemon, for example, to delete them.

Balanced

With “Yes” the fluid is prevented from breaking apart into smaller drops too fast.
