Fluid Simulation: Which tank will fill up first? [Blender FLIP Fluids + Cycles]

Nevertheless my experience was pretty good. I started this simulation on a Windows 8.1 machine copied it over to my iMac with macOS High Sierra and continued baking. (The fact that you can pause baking is awesome!)
Then I copied the simulation to my rendering machines, which are running Debian 9 Linux. That didn’t work that well - the simulated water was displaced and I haven’t figured out why yet because I was running out of time and wanted to keep this video on schedule.
But overall I’m very impressed with the addon. It’s really efficient comparing to the default fluid simulator in Blender. This simulation is baked at a resolution of 800 using a bit over 8GB of ram on a Windows machine. For a 860 resolution simulation with Elbeem I needed nearly 100GB of ram.

Why did you end the video when none of the tanks were full yet?

[AJLord]

G....
Wait how did i not see the blockage there.
H.

[Andrew..J]

The question depends of the flow rate into A. You bump that inflow up to 1000 Gal/s and A will fill up pretty fast.

[zucth]

Before watching: I think G...
After watching: Seriously?

[wetasspaddington]

That's just mean. If D wasn't covered then G would have won.

[AAYLV]

H of course, since D is blocked. But the thing is the water is passing out slower then it comes in by J and C So to figuere it out, it should fill and unfill the same intensity.

[Arvannis]

Before I watch this, I think it's G.

Edit: wow bud that was cheeky who would notice that little thingy blocking it off?

[vxll]

This is the type of videos that i love it!!

[brusameba]

Well it depends on the pressure, and the size of the the last split, if it's thin enough the water might fill F before H get filled, all assuming the fluid is water

I really like how you did the background where you've made the containers' outlines and identifiers. It got me to thinking of an alternative method, less labor intensive which would be to turn on Freestyle. I did a test with the cube and added a ground plane of a flattened cube spread out to 4 meters. The cube had for its material the Transparent shader, fully transparent. Turn on Freestyle in the Render tab. In the Render Layers tab where the Freestyle settings are, in Freestyle Line Set I had to change Selection By to Group, and put the cube in that group (I left it named Group). I could have sworn that in a previous test I had Selection By set to Edge Types and had only Crease checked but today that was also outlining the ground plane.

I've seen a whole lot of pictures asking this question, so I already knew what the answer was.

I actually was interested to see how you managed the best simulation of this scenario I've ever seen in my life.

I wish you best of luck, and at least a million more subscribers! This animation is too good and too smooth! Beautiful work mate!

[MisterMatheusNeves]

This is more of a paying attention test

[shafwandito]

Me before watching the video: G is the answer

Me in the mid of watching: OH FUCK OFF. THERE'S ALWAYS A TRICK QUESTION!

[TAKN]

People do y'all really not see that c is blocked from d

[SonariNeiracchen]

There is a barrier from c to d. Look close.

[ruudygh]

for those who are new to this video, this is an eye test, not a physic science test. Make sure u wear ur glasses and watch this on an 16k monitor.

[cosmopoiesecriandomundos]

g


edit: just now I saw the barrier. it's h, i gess now



edit: I think I got it

[SethCocker]

Who else thought G without looking properly and only realized- ‘oh wait-‘ when no liquid fell into it, so you went back a few seconds da and really looked and saw the barrier?
Like if you did ;)
Edit: Most likes I’ve ever got thanks people!

[broncharis]

Wow i can't believe that many people were that blind and can't see the blocked passage way. And then get salty that they got it wrong.

[Kalion-mizc]

I am so confused. It the liquid being forced into these containers. It looks like its just being pored in. That would mean that they shouldnt rise more then the pipe being put into them thus meaning A would be the only one to fill completly and win. Unless there is some strange physics rule that I don't know. Can anyone prove me wrong?
