Bronto series- egg fluids (Patreon)

This has been much slower of a process than I originally thought, animating the fluids for this... and it was really not looking too good, but over the last few days it's been shaping up.

(the disembodied hole, which is part of the "fluid world" version of the bronto)

I've been doing these fluids and some of the fluids on the glamor hole thing at the same time (but it's pretty slow baking two things at once). So I've been baking *just* this to get something finished faster.

There's obviously things you can do to speed up the testing phase of fluids, but what makes this a huge drag is that in order to have an idea of how the fluids will behave over the course of the entire simulation, you need to let it run for a bit before the spot your testing. A squirty fluid emitter won't have the same oomph to it if it's emitting inside fluid, for example.

That, and how drastically different the fluid is at higher and lower resolutions (and lower surface tension/viscosity quality), it can't be simulated too far off from good quality settings. Otherwise, there's no way of having a good guess at what the final thing will look like.

So, I usually try to make the domain as small as possible while previewing stuff (which is why you'll see fluid hit an invisible wall sometimes). But yeah, even then it can take some hours to see enough frames to be like "okay this needs to be fixed"

I do think that the fluids will look pretty freakin' sweet in the end, but it just takes a million years. So I've been adding sound to the animation, though it's a lot of guessing right now, the fluids themselves inform a lot of my sound choices. I attached a tiny part with sound and wip viewport stuff though.

Also, a few not final renders with the environment on. The lighting helps out a lot with making it seem more like egg lube (maybe that's a brand of lube folks use? Egg lube? idk)

Anyway sorry this short, supposed to not take a long time to have done animation is taking a long time to have done... but as soon as the fluids are finalized, I can have it done extremely quickly.
