The instructions on this page will guide you in setting up a very simple liquid simulation from scratch using the Phoenix Simulator and other components.
For quickly producing physically accurate liquids, the Phoenix Shelf provides Quick Simulation buttons such as tap water, milk, and liquid chocolate. These buttons will also create realistic V-Ray materials for each option, allowing users to render the results right away. For an introductory guide to using the Quick Simulation buttons, see the Getting Started with Chaos Phoenix Tutorial.
