Lesson Outline (15 lessons)

In this series of lessons we'll learn the basics of using RealFlow 5. Using RealFlow, we can create realistic fluid and physics simulations that we can then bring into another application to light and render.

This series of lessons will introduce us to the powerful software of RealFlow so we can begin experimenting and using it for our own projects. By understanding now how emitters, daemons and objects interact, we can create and control complex simulations.

1. Introduction and project overview

3. Adding Nodes to our project and working with the UI

5. "Understanding Particle Type, Resolution and Density"

7. Changing Emitter Parameters to control particle creation

9. Using an Initial State to store simulated particle positions

11. Animating the emitter and initial daemons

13. Meshing our fluid simulation for different looks

15. Importing our mesh into Maya and basic render setup

2. Understanding RealFlow's Project management and folders

4. Using Daemons to control our particles

6. Using Particle Properties to change our simulation

8. Using Global and Exclusive links to control particle interaction

10. Importing and scaling the 3D geometry and view shading

12. Setting the Particle Fluid Interaction with the glass

14. Editing our Mesh Field parameters for sharper fluids
