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 0.02.
- 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.
