Hi I’m working on a short animation for school, and I’m using 3D studio max. There’s a scene in my movie where the character is in a jackson pollock painting and he jumps in and out of the ground (a plane) and each time he does that there’s a paint splash. So I was trying to figure out how to exactly do this, and after many tries I couldn’t get a decent result.
So maybe you guys could help me with this?
I already looked up some tutorials, but they are never exactly what I need.
I used a particle system to generate fluid particles, and I’m pretty happy with the result for a first try (Blender seems way faster&easier for fluids). But I don’t know how to turn it into a fluid, or how to bake it… Maybe I’m not doing it the right way.
here’s an example of what it should look like:

It doesn’t have to be as complex as in the example though… Just the same feel, a thick viscous fluid splashing up and making a splatter on the ground.
So basically I need to know two things: how to achieve a paintlike splash, and can I export the simulation to 3DStudio Max (.OBJ, or whatever)?
(sorry for the long explanation)
