Particle Tuner To Alter Wetmap Particles?

[tommygdawg]

Is there a way to use the particle tuner (or another method) to alter the stickyness and wetmap properties? IE, I'd like to make the liquid less sticky when it's near an object.

Thank you!

Hello again,

There's no way that I know of, that modifies the stickiness. The Non-Newtonian parameter is what might help.

Here's how it works:
Non-Newtonian | nonnewt – Modifies the viscosity with respect to the liquid's velocity to overcome the conflict between viscosity and wetting, where a high viscosity of real liquids prevents wetting. Non-Newtonian liquids are liquids that behave differently at different velocities. This parameter accounts for this behavior by decreasing the viscosity in areas where the liquid is moving slowly and retains a higher viscosity where the liquid is moving quickly. For example, to cover a cookie with liquid chocolate, high viscosity is needed in the pouring portion of the motion to obtain the curly shape of the chocolate as it lands on the cookie and begins to settle down. On the other hand, a smooth chocolate is needed to settle in over the cookie without roughness and holes. If the viscosity is high enough, the chocolate might look right during the pouring and settling motions but won't settle in to form a smooth thin layer over the cookie. This parameter decreases the viscosity where the liquid is moving slowly (over the surface of the cookie) while keeping the faster-moving stream tight and highly viscous.

Also you can take a look of a tutorial that I made recently about tuners. Here's a link:

Appreciate the thoughts! I do love your tutorials, by the way. They're great and so easy to follow!
