Summary

Yep, I've got similar.

I'm trying to do a simple scene where I've a sphere which is turned into fluid, then a cylinder is animated through it - it's to make a blood hit element for someone being hit in the nose with a stick. When I set the stick to be a custom convex body, it stops animating. I thought it might be a case where Lucid would only use vertex animation so I changed the stick rotation keys into an xform instead but as soon as I turn on the sandbox or hit the record button the animation of my cylinder doesn't work. Likewise, time ranges weren't behaving on things. I've got a lot of blood shots to do on a show so we'd need:

- Time ranges working

- Ability to have an emitter object parented on to a track - imagine like a blood bag tied on to an animated object so it can take some velocity from the track

 

Edit - Also enable time range breaks fluids in 0.3.0.6055 though our collision object is working again, I tried setting the particle radius manually too but my fluid object stays as it's original mesh and won't make particles when the time range tickbox is on.

 

Cheers!

Yep, it's working far better with the most recent nightly, collision objects are fine now. What I'm getting instead is that fluids are exploding as soon as they start to sim. I'm going to be doing some quite small scale stuff and if you let lucid choose your resolution and particle radius it's quite explodey :D

Again I'm quite new to lucid so likely doing some dumb things, it seems like in some scenes that I've premade that changing resolution doesn't seem to have an effect on particle count but in brand new scenes it behaves okay. Lots of dumb things on my side first so I'll have a play for a few days and come back once I'm used to it. Would it be possible to get a second license on my user name? I'll play with it quite a bit at home over the holidays as it'd be great for me to have a settled solution for shots that I can script or automate :)
