Change the Color of Maya Fluid

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I want to change the color of maya fluid by python. I used the following command:

cmds.setFluidAttr( 'fluidShape2', at='color', vv = (0,0,0), xi=x, yi=y, zi=z ); 

Unfortunately, it doesn't really change anything and there is no error.

Do you have any idea? And anyone knows how to set color for each cell? I want to assign specific color value to the cell according to its density.

Cheers!

Hi!

1. Your command needs values for x, y, z and i would choose a better color for a test like red:

cmds.setFluidAttr( 'fluidShape1', at='color', vv = (1,0,0), xi=0, yi=0, zi=0 );

2. Make sure you have Density on the Fluid or you will see nothing ("Gradient" is enough for a test)

3. Set Color Method to "Static Grid" or "Dynamic Grid"
