dripping wax

[ian_camarillo1]

Hi, sorry if this already posted but I just a watched a great tutorial on how simulate dripping wax. It was a little long but I was wondering if there were new developments to type of effect? Thanks so much!

Hey,

Sorry, I can't understand the question - do you mean that you have tried an older Phoenix version and you couldn't achieve this effect because something was missing in Phoenix?

Could you also share a reference so we are sure we are on the same page and can help with ideas for the setup?

Thank you!

Yes definitely. This is the tutorial I watched and had excellent results for my file. But was just wondering if there's a more efficient workflow? Thanks again!

Hey, this tut looks great, although it's a bit complex.

Here is a bit simplified version of how to achieve the melting effect - https://youtu.be/lqe9bLBYM9M

Cheers!

Excellent. Thank you George!

I got all the way (1min in) to the viscosity setting in the dynamics rollout. Any chance there's a newer tutorial? or a preset? Thanks again and ty Georgi

Hey Ian,

Nothing newer, but it works in the exact same way as in the the video. Even if we make a new tutorial it would show the same steps.

Is there something that doesn't work for you or something we can help with?

Hi Georgi.
I had made the mistake of creating the wrong simulator at the beginning. I was going to post my final results but you're too fast! lol. I'll send an update ASAP. Thank you for your support!
