Need to create Ink in Water effect

[Raven]

Is it possible to achieve the same effect with Phoenix as this Fume setup.

Would you use liquid or just standard fluid setup?
Mainly I want to know how to get the turbulence looking like that as the ink dissipates.
Will also use Krakatoa to render.

yes, see the sample scene finesmoke. you may use krakatoa for better rendering, it supports phoenix, or render it as fog like in the sample.

Thanks Ivaylo for the quick reply.

It's not the render I am worried about. It is more the best way to achieve the fluid dynamic.

Is it a moving source in a liquid, or is smoke in air with low gravity.
Just wondering the best way to get all that fine slow turbulence.

Thanks

smoke in air, no need to simulate liquid, if no liquid surface is needed.

is there a clear tutorial anywhere about connecting phoenix with krakatoa?

[Ivaylo Katev]

i think there is no such a tutorial. but paul oblomov can help you, he made this video

[Paul Oblomov]

There's nothing complex - just export particles inside phx. Then add krakatoa and point it to these particles. That's it.

I modded the Finesmoke example here:http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbu...tercolor-Smoke
There is an invisible obstacle and a moving source.
