Fluid Sim in custom Model

[SPARTAN-001]

To extrude a face, you select the face and then press E, and move your mouse, clicking to place the face that is extruded. However, I'd recommend reading up on modeling before starting a fluid simulation project. Here's a good tutorial, about how to build a castle.

Thnx for ALL the help guys. In the process of backing the fluid sim. Have one more question to finish the thread off.

I did a low quality bake to do a test to make sure I was filling the whole pillar. got the setting correct. I am in the process of baking a sim with the resolution of 256, 300 frames, 10 seconds. which is going to take 50 hours. as I am watching the sim, I am noticing that it might not fill all the way with those settings. My question is, after the bake is done, if the pillar is not filled all the way, is there a way to add 5 more seconds without having to do the whole bake over again.

PLUR

for some reason my last post, did not post. i am in the process of bakeing the fuild sim. one more question, if the pillar doe not fill all the way, is there a way to add 5 seconds and 150 frames.

THANX for ALL the help.

PLUR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, there's no way to do that. Also, keep an eye on your hard drive space. At that resolution, the fluid sim will eat up a lot of hard drive space. Just bear that in mind.

If I stop the sim, change the settings and rebake, can I stop the sim before it over flows. then chage the time to fit the video?

thnx again

I don't quite get what you mean, sorry.

I think everything is ok. now that the pillar has fluid filling the center, it is filling faster. I am at 158 frames out of 300. say for instance, if the pillar doe not fill all the way and I start a new back at 15 seconds, 450 frames. If thI bake and get to a point where it is full and I have not baked the full 450 frames, can I stop the back and edit the time to corrispond with the frames. I guess I could just do it in post editing.

Doing it in post production would be much easier, and faster, at least in my opinion.

It NEVER ends. I guess this would be another modeling question. I would like to create an indirect lighting out line on the pillar. I know how to do the indirect lighting but would like some direction on how to create the the outline. can someone help. the blend file is below. outline needed around the indentions and along the outside. the camera is in the wrong place, it will be potioned directly in front of the pillar with the pillar showing 2 sides. so I would need half the outlines and and indentions, and a full one.

I do want to learn so the above was just saying in detail what I am looking for.

Nothing wrong with asking questions!
I'm downloading the file right now, will take a look at it when I get a chance. Right now these school computers can't deal with Blender, so it may be a while.
