Fluid Dynamics

An exploration of fluid dynamics using Blender's Mantaflow simulation engine. The project pushed the boundaries of what's achievable with procedural shaders combined with volumetric lighting. Each frame required hours of render time but the result speaks for itself — a photorealistic fluid that behaves with uncanny naturalism.
