LogInEdoardo Maragno showcased a great real-time sim made with Houdini's FLIP.
Take a look at this spectacular real-time rivulet simulation created by 3D Generalist and Junior FX Artist Edoardo Maragno using a combination of SideFX's procedural 3D software, Houdini, and Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5.
According to the creator, the sim was set up for a bigger project, currently WIP, to test out FLIP (Fluid Implicit Particles) in Houdini. "Unreal Engine comes in very handy for this type of quick/small projects, and I can't wait to test SVTs next," commented the author. "Given the limitations of a real-time renderer, I truly believe these two pieces of software bridged together allow for some sweet eye-candies."
The author has also shared a closer look at the Custom Velocity Field created for the simulation:
