Fill a glass

[MonkiDG (Monky)]

If I want to fill a glass with a beer tap, how should I do it with Niagara Fluids or will that waste a lot of performance? What other ways are there to do it?

[Shmoopy1701]

We use a static mesh with a liquid material on it, fitted to the inside of the container. Then scale the mesh during fill.

Add some particle foam and splashes and you have a decent filling glass.

something like that?

And for the tap to come out do I need Niagara or can it be done another way?

[Shmoopy1701]

We use niagara particles for the fill stream.

Any tutorial on how to do it? I don’t control Niagara very well.
