Fluidos is near impossible to learn

i spent 8 hours trying to learn fluidos and make it work
few times i kinda made it work but i have no clue how i did it

is there a proper video that tells how to do everything from start to end

tutorial videos with the plugin are horrid and unhelpful some of the options it says dont even exist

    the fluidos plugin is super and things it can do are soo amazing i just wish there was a way to learn it

    i watched a 1 hour video of a person trying to make that plugin work but he could barely do anything decent with it either

    this is how far i know

    step 1 add fluidos domain
    step 2 add sephre inside domain and parent it with fluidos domain
    step 3 add fluidos mesher and parent it with sephre 
    step 4 give empty folde to fluidos domain and sephre to save baked files
    step 5 run simulation 
    step 6 turn enabled on

    this works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt idk what i am missing

    There are presets if I remember correctly, try and use those! I never managed to achieve anything on my own with Fluidos, but with the presets, I've gotten some pretty good scenes, and you can tweak them a bit as well. The presets are listed for fluidos 1 only I believe, but the product page for 2 states they should work with that version as well afaik. Hope that helps!

    I don't have Fluidos, but have a lot of experience with fluid simulations in other programs, and they can get very complicated very quickly. However, if you familiarize yourself with the basic parameters of a fluid simulation, they become a lot more comprehensible. You could try watching a tutorial video for a fluid sim in, say, Blender, and learn a lot of what you'll need to know to work fruitfully in Fluidos.

    Moved to technical help as it is not a Daz Studio application topic. The PA does have dedicated support threads for these products - assuming this is Fluidos II https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/366451/fluidos-ii-for-daz-studio-update-2-2-commercial/p1
