Gday CGTalk forum-goers,

I am having alot of trouble,
Is there a way you can change a dynamic fluid object into a simple NURBS curve?


Or is there some other way I could do this?
- can I 'intersect with model' like in sketchUP?, eg intersect the surface into another object.

Or the only other way will be to redraw over the whole surface with lines, I cant find this either, is there a line tool?


Any help would be really appreciated!! :), I am studying architecture and deadlines are tight. :sad:


Cheers JJ.

Are there some settings I am missing?, I only get a image with my emitter shown.


How do you attach images to your posts? :shrug:(I want to show a screen shot).

hi JJ,

try to emit a surface (goo type fluid ) instead of a volume fluid and then u can convert the fluid surface into a polygon using Modify menu > convert > fluids to polygon option..

hope it helps ..

Thanks ashishdantu!

I really appreciate your help mate, if you ever need a hand in SketchUp 3D, please feel free to give me a bell!

Many Many thanks, JJ. :)
