Best seat in the house.
This was primarily a fluid experiment with morfium to test out some new features. The goal was to get a splashing, sliding jizz effect on the 'lens' that looped without the need for any compositing. The typical fluid sim pain points continue to be challenging but the splashing and sliding worked out quite well.
That kind of sliding effect is one of the hardest things you can do with fluid simulation since when most real fluids slide they have a certain surface tension and friction, all while potentially leaving behind a tiny residue. The way this stuff works in 3D is that you're creating a mesh out of a particle system, so the former properties are difficult simulation-wise and the residue is difficult to capture with the limited 3D resolution you have to work with. This means that you often have to use all sorts of tricks to get the look you want. But with every advancement things get a little bit easier
( Here are the final round of WIPs. Much to the detriment of my sanity, this animation really does have everything.)
