Sprut – 2d Fluid solver for Nuke.

Posted on 14/01/2013 by theo

Here’s something I’m hoping to release for free once it’s all packaged up.

Sprut – A fast 2d fluid solver for Nuke.

* Based on Jos Stam’s 1999 Paper “Stable Fluids”
* Written as 2d gizmos; making it really easy to implement new ideas
* Fast and stable
* Creates and saves Uv’s and velocities to do post-sim manipulation
* Density and velocity manipulation during sim (viscocity and density diffusion, as well as rate flow control)
* Super Fun yo !

Next to do on my list is finishing the emitter and collision tools and package the whole thing up for a smooth release.

Mantra for Nuke.

MantraBridge – Aka Mantra for Nuke.

* Point, Area and Environment light support
* Basic shader support (brdf, matte/shadow, occlusion/bent normal)
* Raytrace, Micropoly and Physically Based rendering engines available.
* Animation support for parameters. (lights, cameras, objects)
* Delayed_load object support. (with basic translation controls)
* Pixel and raytracing sampling controls (pr object and light)

Very handy if you want to render excessive amounts of Stanford Dragons in comp.
