But Adrian, you own a company called Fluid Pictures, surely you should teach me, hehe!!

Seriously though, I was thinking about putting a page together about it, hopefully soon when I get some time :)

Hi

The sim was quite a beast, each frame is 250mg worth of data, so for that shot, 60gig of files!!!

A few million particles there, so its understandable.

It took a couple of days simming and couple of days rendering. (yes i need a new pc).

Im quite pleased with the result, but the problem is if a client wanted it slightly changed, they would have to come back a week later!

I use RF at work everyday too, so im starting to find lots of tricks and tips to make it run faster etc and scripting in RF, SO cool!! :)

I think I'm the only one, but I love using RF, its very powerful, except when it gets memory leaks and my 4gig dissappears in 5seconds, I actually cry :(
