V-Ray Clipper and PhoenixFD Liquid Sim Splashes Rendering Black

[TekVisual]

I'm unable to post a new topic or respond in the PhoenixFD sub forums for some reason so I am posting this here.

I am trying to render the splashes from my liquid simulation with a V-Ray clipper mesh, when the splashes are intersected by the clipper mesh they are currently rendering black. Is there a work around for this or is this just not feasible?

I tried changing the material to a solid white for the V-Ray clipper and I get similar results, The liquid in the middle when intersected render out with the V-Ray Clipper material but the splashes won't.

Also for the forum mods do you know why I can't post in the PhoenixFD sub forum? Thanks!

Hey,

Thanks for reporting that, I have logged this as a bug in our system. Looks like this is not working correctly for the Spalshes and Bubbles modes.
For the Mist you can use Fog or Point mode - just make sure that you turn Geometry Mode on for the Particle Shader.

As for the Phoenix FD forum access - send over and email to the support guys and they will help you out.

Cheers,

As a workaround to cut the particles you can use the Cutter Geometry option - you can find more about it here - https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...er+%7C+PHXFoam

Thank you Georgi I used that work around for the splashes and it seems to be working as expected now after making the cutter geometry non renderable.

Awesome, I'm glad it's working now.
