Hi,

Is it possible (and How) to extract data/information from Fluid Dynamic like Velocity Draw, Numeric Display or Rectangles (in Wireframe Display) into curves or any types of object?

The way I did it before is to screen capture the arrow and redraw them in Illustrator... one by one

If anyone knows an easier+faster+more efficient ways to this or has any tips / advices, please let me know.

regards,
m

Check out the command getFluidAttr. It allows you to get all the fluid grid values.. velocities, densities, etc.
FluidVoxelInfo will provide you the location in space of a given voxel. From this info you can construct your own arrows as nurbs curves, or whatever.
