YUpI!!! My FiRst FlUiD iN BLENDER!

Hey everyone, lately I started to work in Blender. This is free 3d software application, which has been used to make amazing 3d short films like BIG BUNNY. (I love this character is amazingly cute and modeled)

So I download it on the day before yesterday, and let me tell you that in the beginning was horrible! I just move and didn't achive anything! The interface is intimidating, I first got use to C4D ,later on Maya and now Blender. But OMG! So many buttons and directions, hidden keys, new ways to save and render.

So my mission was to learn the interface, a whole day of watching video tutorials and reading let me move in it. I mean, not at a 100 percent, but I know how to move everything, scale, rotate, set screen settings and so on. And today I decided to start with FLUID SIMULATION, this software lets you create fluids without many plugins. I would love to work with REAL FLOW , but at the end there are other ways if you don't have it.

Looking at fluid simulations at youtube using BLENDER, I said to myself, hey it looks realllyyyy good for liquids. So here I go again, learn what are fluids, domains, obstacle and so on, and here is what I achieved....


After baking so many times, and moving, and redoing, I got this render shot. Pretty good for being a beginner in this, hopefully I will make more. And, if you ask me how I put the texture on, I really don't know. I did the texture and achieved the water look, but by clicking and moving it was on the fluid. Yeah!
