In the next steps, you’ll add another emitter to the container and make each emitter create different colored Density. You’ll see how different colored Density interacts in the container.
To combine colored fluids in the container
Maya creates a second fluid emitter called fluidEmitter2 and places it at the center of the fluid container, in the same position as the first emitter.
Make sure you keep the emitter inside the container and on the plane by dragging only the X and Y manipulators. If you move the emitter outside the container, it will not emit.
A message appears prompting you to set the fluid’s Color Method to Dynamic Grid.
By setting the Color Method to Dynamic Grid, the color values you place in the container grid are recalculated by the fluid dynamics solver and changed during simulation. This means colors can interact during the simulation.
You are not prompted to set the contents method to Dynamic Grid, because you already set the container to Dynamic grid when you modified fluidEmitter2.
