RealFlow has a great case study online about the “Whole” commercial we discussed earlier. They talk in great depth about the struggles of binding water to geometry with RealFlow, and how they managed to make the commercial work with a single all-encompassing RealFlow Sim.
Our early tests were quite slow with a lot of calculations involved. We had to speed up the sim considerably for “Whole”, because the main shot of the project was 650 frames of continuous water action – and it had to be a single simulation. We were fortunate that this project was mapped out far in advance by the wise folks at DMG and Sugar, so we had a good amount of time to complete the R&D and creative process.
