@xanzuls @Lilly_3D Ah, the early MPM days. Yes, the 2020 version was 2D and CPU only. This one runs in 3D and on Apple GPU (Metal)

@sebbas @Lilly_3D Oh that's cool. Is this on cpu or gpu? I remember seeing your mpm demo from 2020. Houdini and Bifrost both added MPM but Houdini even did it on GPU, hopefully we'll get that on Blender as well.

Explosions with Blender! #b3d

@xanzuls @Lilly_3D Yes, you're right, that is MPM with a mesh on top

@sebbas @Lilly_3D Oh this is cool, is this mpm by any chance or something like pbd/xpbd?

@xanzuls Yes

@sebbas Are you gonna come back?

@Lilly_3D Yes, I'm still on it! It's a great piece of software, a true gem. But yes, development is a bit silent, guess AI videos have taken over. Lately, I've been experimenting with granular materials. Like this one here:

@sebbas I'm sure you've already gotten this question before, but is development of Mantaflow continuing? As far as I know it's been some time since the last significant update to it's github repo or implementation in Blender

@Ever_Since_1984 Hi! Interesting, so you'd like to get access to the 3D fluid mesh in edit mode and then do a UV unwrap? Yes lately, I have been working on mantaflow, trying some things with particles

@sebbas Hi @sebbas are you still active in Mantaflow development? I want to ask you if we will have UV in the generated mesh from fluid? It would be nice to have UV well stuck to the fluid flow. And thanks for your hard work on integrating Mantaflow in Blender! You did a good job! Tks!

@agbstudios That's on my to-do list :)

@sebbas really good. Is possible to get sticky fluid to objects in mantaflow?

Fluid viscosity settings in Blender just got an update! Liquid coiling & buckling effects are now finally supported. #b3d #fluids #devfund

@JarenNull Glad to hear! Yes, these kind of optimizations would be really nice to have - maybe one of the next projects

@sebbas Thankyou so much for the additions for viscosity! I can simulate honey now!!!😃 But I am curious. Would there be potential to use tech like this? GPU computed fluid sim? youtu.be/i4KWiq3guRU

Accidentally made space goo while playing with the new #mantaflow viscosity setting. #b3d #blender

@Nahuel_Belich @sr1harsh :)

shout-out to the person that develop the diagnose tools for #mantaflow in the #GSOC, if someone knows the name (i don't remember at the moment) please tag in the comments, #blender needs more #diagnose tools like this. #b3d #interface

@topher_batty, that's your method from "Accurate Viscous Free Surfaces ...", integrated into Mantaflow and added to Blender's fluid modifier.

Another example without mesh: This is how the underlying particles move around

@DonBariloche Hi! That's unfortunately not implemented yet. While collision objects influence fluid, there is no force exchange the other way around.

@sebbas Hi Sebastian! Its there any way I can make a boat interacting with some water fluid in mantaflow? It doesn't interact with moving objects if a use as collision effectors.

The first 2.92 fluid feature just landed in master. It's a new simulation method called "APIC". #b3d #devfund

@PaoloFurani Yes, feel free to leave any question you have. Documentation can always be improved, especially for new features.

@PaoloFurani Sure, what kind of info do you need? For general questions I'd first take a look at the manual: docs.blender.org/manual/en/late…

@lucianomunoz_ That person should definitely make a build from source. Compare it to Blender running through Rosetta. And to Blender running on an Intel Mac.

So, has anyone tried blender in the new M1 macs? #Apple #m1 #b3d

@thefaketomato Some of the differences are described in the 2.92 release notes wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference…

@sebbas Will there be any advantages to using FLIP over APIC?

The majority of people got it right :)
