The Apothecary Week 32 - Switching Gears to Blendshapes

Dated: 17 April 2025

This week we had a few hard conversations about the simulations we were using. We gave up on using fluid simulations for our big story points such as the bookshelf flooding. We are completely changing and switching gears to using blendshapes for fluid. This will be replacing our big simulations along with just adding small details to pouring cups and glasses, etc.

This shot is a great example of the blendeshapes that we used as the liquid coming out of the bottle is a blendshape. It looks good and at least something is coming out of the bottle when she pours it. It would look strange if she poured it and nothing came out.
