Fluid made up of animated sprites? - liero116 - 08-08-2017
So I need a plugin to do something fairly specific. I think Obi Fluid might be it but I want to make sure since I can't completely tell by looking at promotional material.
Basically I need to simulate fluid, but the fluid needs to be made up of animated sprites. It seems like I can use a mesh which means I can use a plane and attach a simple animated texture to it, but I just want to make sure this is possible before I buy.

Hi,
This is possible indeed, but you´ll have to implement it yourself on top of the simulation provided by Obi. There's no built-in functionality for such specific use case.
You can retrieve the position of each particle every frame, and place the sprites on top. Or, use a shuriken particle system an place an animated particle at each fluid particle's position.
cheers,
