Hey Guys, I am a new learner of RF. I am planning to do a project for my college which requires a lot a RF usage but I am unable to use the Fill object emitter, it just fills my object in one frame & then the complete animation goes without the particles being filled into the object. This must be sumthing very common but I tried everything but not helping. Can anyone help?

Fill emiter gives you no animation just fill the object,what do you want?,start with a filled object or an emiter filling the object?

yeah it fills the object in the first frame but wen i play the animation the particles disappear.Actually i am trying to fill a car with liquid so tat the liquid forms the shape of the car but not happening.

Reaflow writes a file for every frame you need to make the simulation in order to see something.

Also you can read the manual,Reaflow its very easy to understant,very hard to control,that´s why it´s sometimes a nightmare in production.

I already do something like this in an Fiat comercial , it takes a lot,first understand the basics
