Can Obi Fluid simulate one water drop? - evera.hart - 06-04-2018
Hello!
Can Obi Fluid simulate this exact scenario of a water drop creating a ripple and then bouncing up another water drop? Please see this video reference--from 0:36 - 0:45.

If it is possible, what is the process, and how detailed can this simulation be? (instead of the realistic tiny water drop, can the water drop be the size of a human head?)
Thank you

Hi,
No, this is not possible with Obi. Obi's surface tension does not strive to minimize surface area unlike real life's surface tension, so drops are not enforced to be spherical. This is due to performance reasons.
cheers,
