Fluid simulation (self fill glass)

Hi,

how it is possible to fill a glass with water without seeing the fill in? I want to create a glass which fills by it self (like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5qWzM3kSj0 - the first 10 seconds)

I tried to create an inflow object which was on the bottom of the glass but the water gresed only till the size of the object. Then I createt an cylinder of the height of my glass but it was filled with the water so it looked like a bad fontain.

Has anybody an idea how can I create the self fill glass?

For this purpose I would not use a fluid sim, that’s way to much effort. I would instead use a displacement modifyer with a noise texture to make the surface of the columns look like a waving fluid surface. That would also be much better to control.

You can theen use a shape key to change the level of the surface!
