Getting Started with RealFlow
In this series of lessons, we'll learn the basics of using RealFlow. Software required: RealFlow 5 and up.
What you'll learn
In this series of lessons, we'll learn the basics of using RealFlow. Using RealFlow, we can create realistic fluid and physics simulations that we can then bring into another application to light and render. This series of lessons will introduce us to the powerful software of RealFlow so we can begin experimenting and using it for our own projects. By understanding now how emitters, daemons, and objects interact, we can create and control complex simulations. Software required: RealFlow 5 and up.

About the author
Along with creating and recording training, he also used to manage the support team and work closely with the production development team at Digital-Tutors, now a Pluralsight company. He began his career working freelance and quickly realized that he wanted to find a company where he could use his talents to help people succeed in the CG industry. Chris has likely watched more Pluralsight creative training than anyone on the planet, and its evidenced by his Einstein-sized brain and encyclopedic... more
