Splashsurf Studio
Splashsurf Studio
Splashsurf Studio is a Blender add-on for on-the-fly surface reconstruction of fluid simulation data. It leverages the pySplashsurf Python library, which is based on the splashsurf tool and library.
The add-on interface can be found in the 3D Viewport toolbar (accessible via the N key) while in Object Mode.
Splashsurf Studio interprets the vertex positions of any Blender object as particle coordinates to perform surface reconstruction using pySplashsurf.
A common workflow involves loading particle data from SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) simulations using the Sequence Loader add-on.
As the Sequence Loader updates the input file on each frame change, Splashsurf Studio automatically refreshes the surface reconstruction to reflect the new data.
Note on Geometry Nodes
Currently, the add-on cannot use geometry generated by Geometry Nodes as input for surface reconstruction due to Blender's execution order. Only base geometry or geometry loaded via tools like the Sequence Loader add-on is supported. However, the reconstructed surface itself can be used as an input for Geometry Nodes. If you are interested in contributing to improve the flexibility of the add-on, please contact us via our GitHub repository.
