Change the resolution of a fluid

To change the resolution of a fluid

1. If property values exist in static or dynamic grids, save the scene before changing the resolution.
2. Select the fluid container.
3. Select Fluid Effects > Edit Fluid Resolution > or click .

   The Edit Fluid Resolution Options window appears.

4. In the appropriate fields, enter the number of voxels to define the resolution for the fluid container and click Apply and Close.

   For 3D fluids, the default is 10 10 10, for 2D fluids, the default is 40 40 0.1.

   TipEven if none of the fluid properties are defined as grids, increasing the resolution increases the quality of the rendered fluid.
