No need for a plugin...though Reactor in Max 5 would do the trick...and of course the utimate plugin is RealFlow, and Real wave...true fluid mechanics software...good stuff.

Check here:

A flex modifier and some creative use of volumeselect and Xform modifiers could do the trick.

Need to know more. Is the fluid going to need to slosh out, or just ripple and wave around?

Hope this helps.

3DZealot Thanks for reply :)-

I already test with the flex/soft select.
It works, but I would like to try other ways.
(possibility with this method r poor)

for reactor, for the moment I have trouble because the "bowl"
is moving ... It seems that reactor is just able to make a "pool"
like splash ... so there is no movment ineritence :(-
But maybe I'm wrong 'cause I didn't push this method ...

Am I wrong with reactors ?


I want to avoid droplets out of the bowl, but I will need splashs.

any advises R welcome ...
