Global Fluid Controls

These controls affect all particle systems within your Particular effect that use the Fluid physics model.

NOTE: These controls are also available in the Designer on the Primary System’s Physics Simulations block at the end of the Fluids group.

Fluid Simulation Fidelity

This control sets the scope of forces applied to fluid particles. Higher values create more granular, micro-force interactions. Lower values create broader, more macro-force interactions.

Low fidelity (left) versus high fidelity (right). Notice force affecting finer areas of the emitter on the right than on the left.

Fluid Viscosity

Defines how sticky particles are to one another. Higher viscosity yields a more semi-fluid, thicker appearance.
