🍺 Realistic Beer Simulation FX Breakdown
In this breakdown, we walk through the process of simulating one of the most visually complex fluids, beer, focusing on the realistic interaction between liquid, foam, and bubbles.

Using Houdini 20.5, we tackled challenges caused by viscosity differences between foam and beer by running two distinct FLIP simulations. Foam buoyancy was maintained with custom forces and threshold-based groups. Overflow behavior was refined using the gasequalizevolume node.

We also added a whitewater simulation for realistic micro-bubbles and used the new Copernicus feature to procedurally generate surface textures like droplet stains and glass scratches.
Final rendering was completed in Solaris with Redshift.

🎯 What’s covered in this breakdown:

Dual FLIP simulations for foam and liquid

Custom forces to keep foam particles afloat

Divergence control with gasequalizevolume

Whitewater bubbles for added realism

Copernicus procedural texturing
