The Curious Case Of A Melting Teapot



This RnD was done in Realflow 2013 to simulate a Wax Teapot melting. I have seen a lot of videos of people saying they have created a melting object and all you see is a fill object and a gravity field added and it looks pretty rubbish! For mine I used a Bounded Gravity field key-frame to move over the teapot so its gives more of a progressive melting effect. I rendered the Shot in V-Ray using Sub Surface Scattering (SSS) for the "Wax Look".

I slowed the render down by another 70 Percent with Twixtor in After Effects so it looks a lot slower and more like wax, this saves me sim'n and rendering over 500 frames.

Final Shot:






As Always, Thanks For Looking
