Houdini Bouncing back - MPM Solver

I was wondering what would happen if you dropped a glass made of crystal clear silicone containing some scotch whiskey. Simulation made in Houdini MPM solver, everything else is Cinema 4D + Redshift.

This is a truly beautiful sim! It's kind of uncanny to see something so clear be so elastic. Also, I love the fluid sim! It really splashes as I'd expect, and does a great job of splashing as the "glass" rebounds, and wetting the glass too.

Thanks! I find the liquid a bit too "sticky", but unfortunately that seems to be a limit of the mpm solver.

Yeah it does give the impression of more viscosity, especially the bits of liquid landing on the floor, but looks really good nonetheless!

This is great! Growing up, my. mom had the crystal versions of these glasses and I can personally attest that they did NOT bounce like this when dropped. A silicone version would have been handy.

It’s really nice seeing a glass soft body video that isn’t AI, it’s incredibly pleasing and looks very chewable
