Convert Fluid Simulation into Keyframes?

Support Animation and Rigging

Hi,
Is there a way to convert Fluid simulation into keyframes?
Unlike other physics sims, the option “Bake to Keyframes” is greyed out.

Each frame of the fluid sim is a separate mesh so there is nothing to keyframe.
Why do you need to do this ? What do you want to do with the fluid simulation.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
What I’d like to do is to be able to manipulate the fluid animation after it’s baked so I can reuse the animation instead of having to recreate a similar simulation in the same scene.

For example, if I can see the keyframes, I can do simple manipulations like:

  • duplicate a frame to freeze it a number of frames then release it.
  • scale the fluid animation’s timing to match the timing of other moving objects in a scene.
