Hi there,
I've looked into how meshes as obstacles are added in the smoke module.
To explain my plan on how to add objects for the target density I will explain
how I did the implementation of the algorithm first.
+ First I added an array for the target density, which is the same
size as all others (density, velocity ect. )
+ Then I implemented the algorithm which calculates a force in each
grid cell to reach the target density, this is calculated right before the
forces are added to the velocity.
+ For the boundaries I simply edited the obstacle array and the
existing code handles the rest.
So far this works all good but now I want to add more complex objects as target
density and don't want to init the target density by code.
My plan would be to do it the same way as adding a collision obstacle and the
inner volume would define my target density.
