Help Obi Fluid's Buildup Substance, can we hide it?

[LiegeOfAnima]

I built a Honey substance feature using Obi Fluid, however I was being bothered by this buildup substance on the top of the sphere I was emitting the honey on it and have it dripping off at the bottom. is there a way to have the buildup hidden?

The buildup is caused simply because there's 2 layers of particles at the top: one stuck to the surface of the sphere due to friction, and a second one stuck to the first due to viscosity. Reducing the collision material friction will make it easier for the fluid to slide down the surface of the sphere, avoiding the buildup.

yeah, that works! what about the emitter itself? is there a way to hide it so the scene shows the sphere dripping with honey substance only, none of the emitter continuously pouring liquid. 

here's the example.

You need to emit fluid from somewhere, so no, you can't hide / get rid of the emitter.

In this particular case, you can use a spherical emitter shape centered at the sphere, so that it looks like the sphere itself is oozing fluid. See:
