[Bf-committers] Patch: Adaptive time step for fluid particles

[Alex Fraser]

Hi all,

I have added a patch to the tracker that automatically sets the number of subframes for SPH simulations.

    http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27442&group_id=9&atid=127

This tends to make the simulations stable, while minimising processing time.

I would appreciate feedback, if you would like to try it. After applying the patch, this feature can be enabled by ticking the box next to Particles > Physics > Subframes. There are demos in the tracker (sorry, they're a bit large) and a graph to illustrate how it works.

Cheers,
Alex
