how to make gooey glob fly thru air and splat on window
Good evening,
I am setting up a scene where I have a gooey glob flying thru the air and splat on window. I want to have the glob changing shape as it flys thru the air due to the air resistance like in real life. When it splats on the window I need it to change shape to conform to the window. Is that soft bodies? If I had to, I would make a shape key for when it hits the window.
Any suggestions?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Scooter

I'm not sure if you're into simulations or not (they can be cached and then manipulated to suit), but this particular addon comes to mind... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Lot's of fun anyway!

Thanks for the reply,
I agree that it will likely be a simulation. I have tutorials for fluids in contained areas like water in bottles, but have not found anything for a heavy fluid in free space. I may have to experiment.

In previous versions of Blender, you would remove gravity from the Fluid Domain like this;

If, however, the fluid flies apart, you may need to use a fluid control object to define a loose shape for the mass of [water?]
Good luck with this!

Thanks for the replies,
I think I am starting to get in the right direction. I made a model with metaballs and turned it into a mesh. I have been experimenting with it as a soft body and a wind empty. I will let you know what I wind up with.

Re: how to make gooey glob fly thru air and splat on window
After much experimenting, I figured out how to do what I want using softbodies on the glob and a turbulant force empty for it flying through the air. I decided not to use it though because I want more control over it interaction with characters so I modeled the glob with metaballs and converted to mesh then added armature. Made another for after it splats on window.
The may be a better way, but I am going with this for now.
