CREATE ABSTRACT SIMULATIONS USING BIFROST FLUIDS

Bifrost Fluids is known for its capability to recreate real-world liquid simulations such as oceans, but it can also be a useful tool in creating abstract fluid simulations. The added bonus is that it is a free plug-in with Autodesk Maya, so there is no need to leave the Maya software in order to create these types of fluid simulations. This tutorial covers the process of setting up and manipulating Bifrost Fluids that morph from one shape mesh to another, giving a zero-gravity effect. An overview is given on how to set up the initial Bifrost Fluid simulation, tweak the liquid properties, caching and finally rendering.

Motion Fields in Bifrost Fluids have the ability to control
