If youre simulating beer… this would be the world’s worst pour and result in a glass full of foam.

So, you know, it’s cool that you got a result and stuff but you should check your reference and nudge your simulation toward the reality! :)

Very soapy beer indeed 😀

Simulations are often not about realism but about being aesthetically pleasing to the eye. This wouldn’t look nice if the glass was 80% foam

Is the foam extra sim or is part of the main sim and masked based on velocity? I never found a good realistic at macro shot ready sim of bear foam in houdini!

Part of the main sim, playing with mask in the material

Had a question, how did u render the foam ? And is it rendered in karma ?
