Pouring fluid?

[Raty]

OK, with Inflow I get pouring water like effect, but how it can be stopped? And now my fluid seems to be too sticky and blobby. Is there any way I can get more light fluid effect with splash and such?

for lighter fluid, bump up the resolution of the domain. for quality fluid, I've heard 300 is about the consistency of real water, but it's also very demanding on a pc to do that. you need about 4GB RAM, Quad Core or Dual Core pc.

Thanks for all. If you don't mind, I have some more question :)

I have now resolution as 225, Surface Subdivision 2 and Surface Smoothing 4 and still have some crispy edges... Should I just rise up resolution or is there any other way to solve that?

Thanks.

can you show me the domain? if possible, you want it to be a perfect cube and take up as little space as possible.

If you really want an in-depth explanation of Blender fluids, then I highly recommend the book Bounce, Tumble, and Splash: Simulating the Physical World with Blender 3D by Tony Mullen. It contains wonderfully detailed information on all aspects of Blender's physical simulation capabilities. You can find it on Amazon if you are interested, just put in the title.

have you actually tried to render that yet? you might find that the viewport is not as accurate as you think. you can always add a level one subsurf to your fluid too...

Yes, it's almost cube. But there is some unnecessary space so I'll try to fit better.

Thanks for tip!

Yes, I just tested and rendered result is also crispy. All I want is nice fluid mesh so I can export it to 3ds max. I already have subsurf 2 level. Maybe I should add more.

Thanks!

The answer to your question is in the first link you posted...youtube is a great place to learn fluids! Good luck.
