Using Hybrido to Create Photorealistic Chocolate in RealFlow
In this tutorial, we will learn the complete workflow to create a realistic, highly-viscous fluid. Software required: RealFlow 2012, Maya 2012, V-Ray 2.0 for Maya, NUKE 6.
What you'll learn
In this tutorial, we will learn the complete workflow to create a realistic, highly-viscous fluid. Throughout this tutorial, we are going to talk about the core feaures of RealFlow. Starting with the basics, we'll discuss the fundamental parameters of a standard SPH system as well as looking at the Hybrido solver. We'll also cover some meshing techniques using the RenderKit particle mesher to avoid flickering issues. Then we'll look at how to render our mesh in V-Ray for Maya and finally how to composite our passes in NUKE. After completing this tutorial, we'll have a much better understanding of the entire process to make a realistic and believable fluid. Software required: RealFlow 2012, Maya 2012, V-Ray 2.0 for Maya, NUKE 6.

Eduard Schulze-Battmann always had a passion for computers since he was young. He started out with a Commodore 64 and ended up with a 12 Core Workstation that he recently assembled. He's had experiences with a lot of different types of programs--for example, during high school, he learned some basics of ASP, MySQL, and he built his first website with Macromedia Dreamweaver just for fun. When he first saw a 3D model on 3ds Max running on DOS, he never thought that would become his job! After high... more
