The elements of this group grant access to any RealFlow node of your scene. You can choose whether you want to get the nodes individually, e.g. by name, or all nodes of a kind like emitters or daemons, or even by the current selection. Node groups are stored as arrays and a "For" node is required to loop through them. It is also possible to manage the nodes' export resources.

Additionally, this class contains many RealWave-related nodes. A very interesting method is to convert a RealWave surface into a height field and save it as 32-bit image. You will also find nodes for manipulating RealWave surfaces.

Nodes

NameDescription
ArrayRealFlowNodeConcatThis node concatenates the inputs 'array0' and 'array1' into a single 'out' array.
ArrayRealFlowNodeConstantThis node returns a constant array.
ArrayRealFlowNodeFilterByMaskThis node returns the elements of the input 'array' at positions specified by the 'mask' parameter.
ArrayRealFlowNodeFindAllElementIndicesThis node returns all positions in the input 'array', which fit to the input 'element' values.
ArrayRealFlowNodeFindElementThis node returns the first position of appearance of the input 'element' within the input 'array'. If the array does not contain the element, -1 is returned.
ArrayRealFlowNodeInsertElementThis node inserts all elements from the 'element' input into the input 'array' at the position specified by 'position'. If 'position' is equal or lower than 0 then the elements are inserted at the beginning of the array. If 'position' is greater or equal than the inputs 'array' size, elements are appended at the end.
ArrayRealFlowNodeMixThis node creates an output array based on the two inputs 'array0' and 'array1' and the input mask. If the mask value equals 0 then the value of 'array0' is used, if the mask value is 1 the value of 'array1' is used.
ArrayRealFlowNodePushElementThis node appends all the elements from the 'element' at the end of the input 'array'.
ArrayRealFlowNodeRemoveElementThis node removes all elements of the 'by_value' from the input 'array'. The returned mask has the same size as the input 'array' and is set to 0 at removed positions.
ArrayRealFlowNodeRemoveIndexThis node removes all input array positions by the 'index' input.
ArrayRealFlowNodeRemoveRepeatedElementsThis node removes all repetitions of elements from the input 'array'. The 'new_to_old' array can be used as an 'index' input for a GetArrayElement-Node to restore the original array. The returned mask has the same size as the input 'array' and is set to 0 at removed positions.
ArrayRealFlowNodeResizeThis node resizes the input 'array'. If the result is bigger than the input array, the last value is repeated accordingly.
ArrayRealFlowNodeReverseThis node reverses the order of the input 'array'.

GetRealWaveAsHeightfieldImage

This node is executed in parallel according to its input pins size.

Returns a greyscale, 32bit image, containing the realwave surface as a heightfield. The search radius defines the area to be searched for neighboring polygons. For non-choppy surfaces, the radius may be low. For choppy-surfaces use high values (around 1.0), but take note, those values may result in poor performance, since choppy surfaces are converted to plain heightfields. The epsilon value describes an offset, which is reducing artifacts on the border. If polygons on the border are set to minimal height, increase this value.

With the color scale, the encoding of heights into colors can be scaled. Decrease this value, if the heights are cropped.

Finally, the switch 'tiles' defines, if the resulting surface should be tilable. If set to 'no' the resulting image represents the exact borders of the quadratic initialized grid. If choppy waves are used, the corner are clamped, resulting in a black color within these areas.

GetRealWaveHeightAt

This node is executed in parallel according to its input pins size.

Determines the height of a RealWave surface at the given input point (x,y,z) - the y coordinate is not considered and thus, may be 0. Returns the corresponding point on the surface (x,h,z). If the surface is not existing at the spppecified points position, the original, unchanged point (x,y,z) is returned.

The parameter search radius defines the area, in which possible heights are searched. It strongly depends onchoppyness. If no choppyness is used, a low value may be used. Take note, the performance increases quadratically with the search radius.

RealwaveRigging

This node allows to rig waves on the RealWave-Mesh using keyframing.

The node is split into 4 groups of parameters:

1. The first group of parameters are controlling the deformation, the rigging-style and intensities. You may consider the position as a cylinder positioned in space, whereas the deformation only affects the surface within the radius of the cylinders radius.

2. The second group defines the falldown style at the sides of the wave.

3. Additional to standard waves, this node is able to rig radial waves (which may be used to imitate waves, caused by falling objects) - the radial waves can be controlled with third set of parameters.

4. Finally, this node allows the creation of splash particles at the waves peak. The behavior of these particles is defined by the last set of parameters.

In the following, a brief explanation of each concrete parameter will be given (see below). Additionally, we recommend to check out the examples, provided with this real flow distribution, since there are further informations given.

 

 

 

Finally, we would like to point out some additional facts about this node:

- This node allows the rigging of waves. Use a cylinder within the scene, rotate it by 90 degree and connect it to the position slot and the cylinders x-scale to the radius slot. Thus, you will have a good position and size control over the rigged wave.

- The animation style of the wave totally depends on controlling the transformation of the cylinder. Use keyframing, to tweak the behavior of the wave appropriate.

- The y-position of the cylinder is one of the main parameters, to control the visual style of the wave. Typically, the y-position should be above the surface - thus, the wave is rigged into the up direction, which is usually desired. The closer the cylinder is to the surface, the stringer the deformation is. Additionally, use the 'intensity' and 'intensity smooth' parameters to tweak the wave.

- This node is well suited for rolling and rising waves. It does not work very well, if the wave finally totally breaks. In those cases, you may achieve some 'comic style' results, which may lack of realism.

- Particles are only determined and emitted, if one of the out pins 'emitter pos' or 'emitter vel' is connected.

Inputs

NameTypesPassThroughDescription
mesh inRealWaveMesh 

RealWave Mesh

positionVector3 (1) 

The center of influence. You may consider this position as the center of a cylinder, whereas the dimensions of the cylinder defines the area of influence to the mesh.

Take note, that the height (y-coordinate) is influencing the intensity of rigging and thus, wave-style, immensely

rotationReal (1) 

The orientation of influence. Using this paramater, you may rotate the waves orientation around the y-axis

widthReal (1) 

The width of the wave. If connected to a cylinder, this represents the height of the cylinder - within this area, the full deformation is applied, whereas in the falldown areas the intensity is reduced constantly

radiusReal (1) 

The radius of influence. Within this axis-radius, the rigging is fullfilled

intensityReal (1) 

The intensity of rigging. Higher values mean higher intensities

intensity smoothInteger (1) 

This parameter reduces the spirality of the rigging. Increasing the value results in slower ascending and descending waves. Using this parameter, the appearance of the wave can be tweaked strongly. Typical values are between 1 and 4

l falldown func

curve
linear
quadratic
inv.quadratic

 

Defines the falldown function. Normally, the parameter 'curve' should be used. The parameter is only used for linear waves (particularly, not for radial waves)

l falldown widthReal (1) 

Defines the width of the left falldown area of the wave. The intensity is decreased to 0 at distance width. The parameter is only used for linear waves (particularly, not for radial waves)

r falldown widthReal (1)

anti spiral enableBit (1) 

The basic principle of the wave deformation provided by this node is a spiral deformation. Normally, a spiral is not what you would like to produce. For strong deformations, you may unroll the spiral, starting from a freely chosen angel. From that area on, the spiral is unrolled to a linear function, allowing the wave to intersect the water surface. This parameter enables the anti-spiral functionality

anti spiral angleReal (1) 

This angle defines the angle, from which on the spiral is unrolled. The angle start backwards from a 360 degree deformation. Thus, 90 degrees imply a vertical down direction and 180 degrees imply a horizontal direction into the direction of rolling. Any value in between may be chosen

anti spiral curveReal (1) 

Since a plain linear function does not always represent a meaningfull wave, you may use this parameter to map the unrolled linear function back to a slight curve. Thus, different breaking styles may be represented

radial enableBit (1) 

This parameter enables radial waves. Radial waves are located around the center, which is specified in the following parameter. The radius of the radial wave is determined according to the position vector (see above) and the center position

radial centerVector3 (1) 

The center of the radial wave

radial fade angleReal (1) 

This parameter defines the direction of asymmetry. Using asymmetry the radial wave's deformation intensity is varied according to direction. Thus, the wave representation of objects falling into water with a horizontal velocity is possible

radial fade startReal (1) 

This parameter defines the intensity of the lowest point of radial asymmetry. In particular, the start deformation intensity on the opposite side of the in the previous parameter specified direction. The value ranges between 0 (=total assymetriy) and 1 (=symmetry)

emit angle threshReal (1) 

Starting from this threshold on, new particles are created if the deformed surface exceeds this angle. The angle is defined similar to the angle 'anti spiral angle' - e.g., 90 degrees imply a vertical down direction and 180 degrees imply a horizontal direction into the direction of rolling. Any value in between may be chosen

emit pos offsReal (1) 

A y-threshold which is added to the emitter position. Might be helpful in some circumstances

emit velReal (1) 

Defines the emitters absolute velocity. Should depend on the speed of the wave

emit vel angleReal (1) 

Defines the emitters velocity direction. As a starting point, the same angle like 'emit angle thresh' can be used. The angle is defined similar to the angle 'anti spiral angle' - e.g., 90 degrees imply a vertical down direction and 180 degrees imply a horizontal direction into the direction of rolling

emit jitterReal (1) 

Add jittering to the particle creation positions, to reduce visible patterns within the created particles.
