In this tutorial, we guide you through the creation of a fusion effect resulting from the splash of two fluids - milk and chocolate. For this goal, we create two liquid emitters, one for each liquid type. By using a Blend Material, we set the appearance of the mixture.
The two liquids are simulated with different RGB each, and then the grid RGB channel is extracted via a Phoenix Grid Texture and used as a mask for the Blend Material. We use Surface Tension to keep the liquid particles packed together in a smooth mesh and only allow them to break up into larger droplets.
To make the liquid mesh look even smoother, as a real milky-looking liquid, we use the Phoenix smoothing tools found in the Input and Rendering rollouts of the Simulator.
