[edit] Week 11

[edit] What's been done

  • I set up the flow behavior switch. So now you can switch between inflow and outflow fluid flow objects. In addition to the switch, I also added a check box to control when the inflow is enabled and when not. It is similar to the elbeem "Enabled" check box so you can use it with keyframes. (rBaa516197318c, rB19148237c71c)
  • I am still not sure if we really need the 3rd flow behavior option "Static" (only use given geometry for flow). Theoretically it is just a special case of inflow where there is only inflow for frame one. In practice, however, it is a heavily used option for liquids and it would be cumbersome to always set keyframes for that effect.

  • Cleaned up some legacy files that I planned on using but did not. (rB5b98fce170a7)
  • Reordered some UI settings. I am basically trying to to group Elbeem and smoke settings panels into one. (rB4b6d9f0a8d62)

[edit] Next up

  • Some maintenance:
    • Update Mantaflow files
    • Merge with master (it's been a long time since last merge)
    • Rebase Mantaflow repository and check what could potentially go into Mantaflow master
  • I have not started the documentation yet. It needs to be done and so this will have priority.
  • Continue updating the fluid UI (zeauro sent me a nice mock-up :)

[edit] Questions

  • No
