In this thrilling episode from Bad Normals, the team delves into the intricate world of fluid simulations, defying the constraints of traditional three-dimensional models. With a rebel yell, they introduce a mind-bending two-dimensional simulation that's not just fast—it's faster than a cheetah on Red Bull. Picture this: water, with its trillions of molecules, is a force to be reckoned with. Blender, the software of choice, faces a Herculean task trying to handle such colossal numbers. But fear not, for the team has a trick up their sleeves: deception.
Enter the grid, a mosaic of cells, each pulsating with a velocity vector dictating the flow of water. But hold on to your seats, folks, there's a catch—the fluid must not compress. This ain't your grandma's water simulation; this is a high-octane thrill ride where every vector dances to the beat of incompressibility. And just when you thought it couldn't get any wilder, they toss in pre-made node groups, shifting the focus from mundane details to the exhilarating 'why' behind the madness.
With a flick of a digital wand, they summon a velocity field, painting a vivid picture of water molecules in a synchronized ballet. But wait, there's a twist! They cleverly mask half the grid, teasing the viewer with a tantalizing glimpse of liquid in motion. As the simulation unfolds, the team navigates through obstacles like speed demons and directional quirks, fine-tuning the experience for maximum impact. And just when you think you've seen it all, they unleash a cacophony of noise textures, injecting chaos into the serene waterscape.
But alas, every paradise has its serpent, and in this digital Eden, it's the dreaded divergence. Those pesky lines disrupting the fluid harmony send our heroes on a quest for equilibrium. Enter pressure, the unsung hero, pushing back against the tide of compression to restore order. Through meticulous calculations and ingenious node manipulations, they conquer divergence, paving the way for a fluid simulation that's as smooth as silk. So buckle up, dear viewers, for the journey through grids, vectors, and the uncharted waters of two-dimensional fluid dynamics.
