Adding friction and drag with a motion field
- [Instructor] Friction and air resistance are handled by the Bifrost motion field container. The motion field is very versatile and can generate multiple different properties simultaneously. We've only seen one property so far, which is direction. Now we'll use the geometry property to simulate friction and the drag property for air resistance. We have one motion field in this scene, and it's creating initial velocity for the fluid. If we go to its field direction section in the attribute editor, we're applying an initial velocity in positive Z. We could do everything in this demo with just this one motion field, but to keep our sanity, let's use two different fields. One for the initial velocity, and one for friction and air resistance. Rename the existing field before creating another one. In the outliner, double-click bifrostMotionField1, and let's rename it. We'll called it bifrostMotionFieldVelocity. Just to ensure that your results are similar to mine, let's set the motion…
