This scene is actually a small test I did back in 2018, for variable viscosity - a new feature of Phoenix 3.10 at the time. I found this scene in my drive while I was looking for my previous works. Some people liked it, so I decided to share how I set up the scene.
Final animation
Scene setup
The simulation setup consists of a highly viscous liquid which is emitted from a teapot.
The emission was masked by using a Stucco texture, so the yellow-slimy liquid seemed to come out from small pores on the teapot. I used the same texture to map the viscosity of the Liquid source. To make the animation more interesting, I assigned a Waveform controller to the Outgoing Velocity of the liquid source. A V-Ray Dome light was used for the lighting, the HDRI is from Chaos Cosmos (Studio 002).
