Re: Realflow 4 now available

No, but you can script it. In the (rather short) demo we were
presented, there was a way to tell a particle to emit many dumb
particles if it exeeded a certain speed, and those particles could die
when the mother particle slowed down. This particular script is not
included with the software, it was made for a production. This kind of
script will get more and more accessible once a community gets
organized.

It showed me that fluid simulation is going farther away from artists.

Scripting is the thing that makes it interesting for me. Lots of things you
want to do at the particle level that can make a big difference to a sim.

Don't suppose they're doing foam yet, are they?
