[Soc-2014-dev] Fluids, Weekly Report #1

[Roman Pogribnyi]

Hello everyone,

With the Mantaflow framework integration during this week, following
progress has been made.

Blender is able to read files from Mantaflow simulation. Playback and
rendering are working fine. No info is stored in cache, as at every step
the appropriate file is read (files are not too big, ex. density field file
is 600kb for a 64^3 grid, and can be processed on the go).

Here is a SimplePlume setting in Mantaflow, as rendered in Blender :)
(Forgot to include shadows, sorry)  http://vimeo.com/96128483

As for next week, the plans are:
- Formalizing the "communication protocol" between Blender and Mantaflow:
what settings should(and currently can) be transferred to the framework.
- Working on comprehensive UI


Best regards,
Roman Pogribnyi
