I only managed to complete one of today's tasks.
1. I guess i made the required amendments to the flyers.. for both front and back page. but just as i changed the measurements the entire flyer's scale went out of whack. Measurements can't be right. My default measurements is A5 size, but the ones i got is 90mm x 166m. -.- Confused.
So i didn't get to email after all.
2. The emitter test didn't get started due to number 3 not yet finished.
3. I managed to resimulate the shards explosion, with the explosion having a 70 magnitude this time, and the ground plane repositioned lower. Then i exported the necessary objects out to RF.
Up to this point, simple as ABC. Everything smooth.
The realflow part was the problem. (
Self rant now, don't read if you don't want to.) Before this, i simulated the RF part using a wrong technique... Well, not exactly wrong cuz it worked, but less flexible than the "correct" technique.
The situation: wanted to simulate a slowmotion water splash. So the first time i raised the FPS to 4000, and tweaked the other settings accordingly (attractors, gravity, mesh, fill obj). The process took about 2 weeks due to numerous crashes.
The flaw: with an FPS of 4000, the speed of the water splash is fixed. Now the "correct" technique would be to use a
BINARY LOADER. Keeping it short, a binary loader is able to load a normal FPS simulation of, lets say 30fps and TIME STRETCH it to how long/short you want it, giving me slightly more control over the water.
So i followed the previous settings exactly, but changed the FPS to 30 instead. To my horror... the entire simulation did not behave at all like the previous one. So i redo the whole stupid thing.
After few hours of tweaking all over again expecting to get 2 week's worth of result in one night more and more problems showed up. The last straw was when something crazy happened and the water started to EXPLODE itself. I mean, the explosion was 10 times crazier than the one i originally set. I removed ALL attractors (attractors are the "forces" that pull/push water particles) BUT STILL IT KEPT ON GOING.
WTH!! I TRIED EVERYTHING BUT NOTHING CAN STOP THE STUPID WATER.
Can't sleep tonight... whole day wasted.
P.s if you managed to read all the way to the end... thx for listening, even though if you cant understand what im saying.
