Fluid Simulation Help

[Shannon]

Hello,  

I watched the CG cookie video on making coffee and tried to apply it to my project.  I want the “glue” to come out of the glue gun and stay there while the cylinder object comes down and sits on top of it.  I have a uv sphere inside and parented to the glue gun as my flow object.  I have the fluid simulation set to the frames of the desired time but how do I get the domain to disappear outside of these times.  Here is a viewport render to show what I am talking about https://youtu.be/ozPbqkTVt0g

Thank you!

You can animate the Visibility of the Domain in its Proprty Settings:

….

Wait, but then the glue would also disappear 😒

So you could render the animation without the sim and then composite the glue over it afterwards…

…or animate the Use Flow Property of the gun:

and keep the fluid sim running…

Thanks so much spikey!  I animated both values and it worked a treat.  As a beginner in animation I aways forget you can animate the setting in the side panel.

Thanks again, for taking the time to help, really appreciate it.
