Setting limit on Foam and Splash Particles?

[cmeusy]

Hello,

First thanks for your help on this forum, it's very useful.

I'm new to Phoenix and I've been struggling with this sim file, I have one fire sim interacting with a water sim. Problem is even with my settings, it's creating a lot of particles for foam and splash. When I render these parts it brings my computer to it's knees with excessively long renders on that section in the lower left section of the viewport.

1. Is there a way to limit how many foam and splash particles are generated or better settings? Or a way for VRAY to simplify those buckets? I've tried reducing samples and motion blur and that helps, but it's not enough.
2. Also when I change a setting for foam and splash, do I have to resim the entire sequence or a backup frame on the troublesome section of the animation?

Thank you,
Cyril

Hey,

There are two options:
- You can reduce the Splash Amount and you'll have to simulate again.
- ... or you can tell the Particle Shader to skip some splash particles and not render them - check the Count Multiplier on the shader which renders the splashes

Hi Svetlin,

Thank you I will give that a try.
