Post by Gafatzis »

hello everyone...
i would like to ask if anybody knows how can i drop a liquid in a glass and then the liquid take the form of the glass.. i have tried the mask using the onionskin but it takes so long and i am sure that there is an other way like particles or gravity or something.. thanks a lot

No, there's no faster way.

You may get an easier result if you separate the dropping part from the glass filling part. The later could be created in the final shape, then masked out. You only move the mask. Behind that arrangement the dropping animation still can continue.

I see... finally i did it with masks.. Specifically i made an hourglass than turned up side down when the down part filled.. It was more complicated than the simple glass..[especially for me(new guy)] anyway thanks a lot for the reply...!
