Bucket of water you can pour out

[OxLilyxO Calcutt]

Does anyone know where I can find a bucket of water that you can pour out? Or a bucket of anything, really.. There's only one I've found 'BayLee's water buckets', but delivery fails every time, I don't think she's active anymore.

If you're looking for an existing product, I'd suggest you'd head over to the Wanted forum, over in the Comerce section.  That's what it's there for.  The Creation section is for learning how to create things yourself.  So, if you'd like to know how to make that water bucket, by all means, ask away.

In any case, you should note that SL cannot do fluid simulations, so there's no way to actually pour anything.  Fluid dynamics require absurd amounts of processing power.  There aren't a lot of realtime engines that can handle them.

The closest you can do is fake it with clever modeling and scripting.  For example, you coud create a model in the basic arc shape of pouring water, put an animated texture on it to make it look kind of like it's flowing, and script it to appear and disappear as the bucket is tilted.  You could also script the object depicting the water surface inside the bucket to lower itself and shrink accordingly.  Particle effects are an option, as well.  All of this will need to be pre-configured.  It won't be able to behave dynamically.

Thanks - I've seen it done before, it's just particles (or something, lol, i'm not good with any of this) But it just spills out and than that's it, I'm hoping to find something else.

I helped bayLee create the bucket and will help you out. She is still active in SL but did not transfer the bucket to direct delivery.

Just give me a shout in the evenings and I will get you a bucket. They are quite fun to dump water on people.
