This daemon transfers the position of particles to the vertices of the object(s), attached to a rigid, elastic, or fluid container, and deforms it/them.



 

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 deformer. If there is only one container in the scene it will be linked automatically. Otherwise the connection has to be established manually.

To learn more about how to link RealFlow scene elements and make them interact take a look at the → "Manual Linking" page with examples.

Control Points

Select a fluid container to deform the objects, associated with a "Rigid" or "Elastic" deformer.

Search Distance

Only particles within this distance from the object's surface (inside and outside) will be taken into account for the deformation. The value is given in metres.

Max Control Particles

Here you specify how many particles around an object's vertex are being used to calculate the actual deformation. The default value gives satisfying result in many cases, but if you need higher precision increase this value.

Outside Control Particles

By default, the daemon will only look inside an object for a vertex's neighbor particles. When active, particles outside the object will be considered as well. Try this option when an object does not move.
