PM - Mesh: OpenVDB

This is the place for the mesh’s fundamental settings. They directly influence the way the polygons are created around the particle cloud.

Auto polygon size

With “Yes”, RealFlow automatically adjusts the polygon size to get the best balance between quality and number of faces.

Polygon size

Smaller values take longer to calculate, lead to larger mesh files, but also more detail:

• A good starting value is around the default of 0.05.
• The corresponding → “Radius” value must be at least Polygon size * 1.5.

• The mesh's final shape is controlled with the → “Volume filters”.

Surface proximity

This parameter determines the distance between the fluid particles and the mesh's polygons in metres. This way it is possible to inflate or shrink the mesh.
