Foam Sprayers

Introduction

This was my attempt trying to recreate the foam techniques from the amazing PROTECT project from XK Studio.

For more insight in to their process and development, take a look at their video here: XK Studio BTS

Below are some of my results while testing and iterating on simulation settings.
