It's been a lot of testing and stuff but I finally got the fluids for the climax shot and the first shot done (for the lower bits anyway). So that's the lower fluids done for all the shots from the front!
Here's an example of how the money shot would look- there would be a volumetric material as well as the clear material and I'll be mixing them in the compositor in the same way as I did with the Nyro animation (mixing the various fluids with the milk using RGB colors from the fluid's color attribute as masks)
Here's some test renders from the first shot. Lookin' pretty nice with the lighting and the motion blur!
I also did some experimentation with Liquigen. It's a promising fluid solution and might be useful for a few things but it's still in alpha so it isn't a viable replacement for fluid simulators available now (it's still missing viscosity and as far as I'm aware color mixing for example). You can check it out yourself if you want:

One issue I was having was with animated colliders:
This is what you'd expect! The cylinder pushes the fluid with it:
Right now animated colliders aren't working. Their support told me their current workaround for it is simulating at a much higher frame rate and exporting at your target frame rate. Haven't tried that yet but I would like to use Liquigen for something at some point because it's very fast.
I've attached an updated animatic with some sound (still very WIP!) and music I commissioned from the extremely talented StriderMutt:

You should check out his stuff on BandCamp! He does some really good stuff (this is my fav so far of his)
