Thyme commands regarding fluids.

[toolpot462]

First of all, I apologize for my previous posts. My complaints about the software and the forum censorship weren't meant as a personal attack to anyone, but understandably they were misconstrued as such, and a flame war ensued.

Now for the post. I know you can liquify objects with thyme commands, but I was wondering if it's possible to solidify fluids to a specific shape, or if such a thing should be pursued. If this has been brought up before, I'm sorry, I'm not much of a lurker.

I think it would be interesting for a scene to gather "resources", like, say, little misshapen bits, and "melt them down" (liquify with a collision based thyme command), pour the fluid into a mold, and then re-solidify it into a desired shape with a similar collision based command.

edit - this should probably be moved to suggestions.

It is impossible to freeze water with thyme, you could however spawn a tiny circle for every water drop you delete and do magic with the circles.

Actually, I think you guys are on to something! I know this scene by standardtoaster that clones the rough shape of polygons (not the actual shape with e.geom.surfaces)

If you can get the water droplets to replace themselves with little geometries that slightly overlap, like monstertje3 said, and float in the air with neutral buoyancy, and then you scan that using standardtoaster's polygon cloner, then you might just be able to solidify objects. What do you guys think?
