Leak Proof Pump

Postby Katash » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:09 am

Hello,
Not sure if this has already been posted but I've been working on making water pumps / pipes & vessels but the problem I've been having is as the water pressure builds up it 'breaks through' objects that in reality it wouldn't

Here is what I mean.

I had an idea of how to defeat this issue by making an invisible barrier around everything that completely resists any water leakage, basically its a square block covering the whole size of the machine, but with the water ways cut out, its set to only collide with water and also made of glass, 0 opacity and no borders. This means as my pump builds pressure up I get zero leakage anywhere in the system.

Apologies if this has already been done.

Not quite user friendly, but certainly works.

I certainly never thought of it.

I love my brain...
