This beautiful commercial by the talented guys over at UpTheResolution required some crucial fluid effects, involving water droplets falling, rolling off a leaf and eventually splashing onto the floor, to act as the setup to the rest of the gentle, flowing animation which makes up this piece.
They turned to Lumiere’s experience in Fluid simulation to provide this, and after some initial R&D we managed to achieved it using a combination of Nextlimits RealFlow and Softimage XSI metaballs.
