[Soc-2016-dev] Weekly Report #07, Mantaflow Liquids

[Sebastián Barschkis]

Hello everyone,

a new report for the Mantaflow project is online:

= Week 7 =

=== What's been done ===

* I finally found out why the mesh faces were missing. It turns out that there
was a special draw routine for smoke which draws faces transparently. For
liquids this obviously does not make much sense, so I'm catching this case with
a liquid flag.

* I started working on the UI. Basically, it's all about distinguishing between
fluid types (e.g. smoke, fire, liquid) and corresponding flow behaviour (e.g.
inflow, outflow, static).

* And, I put together a short video comparing bake times of Elbeem and
Mantaflow.

=== Next up ===

* More UI customizations (switch viewport preview / geometry would be nice)
* Work more on hooking up UI elements
* Starting adding some sanity checks. 

=== Questions ===

* No

Best wishes,
Sebastián
