Different shapes for obi fluid? - netjeenpetje - 10-02-2022
Hi,
Obi fluid currently emits balls. Would it be possible to make it emit long pill shapes?
We're trying to get the following result by using your addon (Warning +18 video):

Could you kindly share with us if this is possible? If yes, would you be able to share the parameters?
Thanks in advance!

By default, Obi emits anisotropic particles --> ellipsoids that approximate the local surface shape. Just make sure your max anisotropy setting (found in the solver) is set > 1. See:

Other than ellipsoids, it is not possible to emit any other shape since Obi is inherently particle-based.
