2 liquid sources but only one renders

[shawkins]

So I have a scene where i have a PHX source filling a sewer well with water, then another PHX liquid using a cylinder to have water pouring into the well. During the simulation I can see both sources working as I would imagine they should, but when I render the scene the PHX liquid coming from the cylinder doesn't show up. Do I need to use a dual simulation or something?

Thank you.

can you attach preview and render image?

[shawkins]

Thanks for taking a look at it. I haven't messed with materials or lighting, but I think you'll see a horizontal pipe to the right where the water is supposed to come out of.

[Ivaylo Katev]

they look completely different, have no idea what can cause such a difference. can you attach the scene?

[shawkins]

Attached is the file.

Thank you for your help.

it renders fine here. what version are you using? did you try to change the rendering mode to mesh or to change the iso surface level to lower value? anyway, it renders fine with your default settings. seeing your pictures a can almost bet that they represent different frames.

I'm using a March build version 2.10.10 with Vray 3.0. Could that be my problem? Attached is frame 273 in various forms. Could you look at them? Maybe it is accurate and i just need some more fluid coming in from the pipe.

[shawkins]

I'll also try changing it to mesh. I was rendering it with implicit surface. Where do i find the iso surface level value? Sorry still learning the software.

Thank you for your help.

[shawkins]

Ivaylo,
I found the iso surface level. That did it! Thanks so much.

this means your liquid stream is too thin

[shawkins]

Would I just increase the discharge to get it thicker, or is there another way so I don't get the added volatility of the increased discharge?

[Ivaylo Katev]

yes, the discharge would work, and if you need thin stream you can increase the resolution
