[Feature Request] Support deformable objects for the 'Add Object Velocity to Inflow' feature. #226

Closed rlguy closed 6 years ago

See Add Object Velocity to Inflow for documentation on this setting.

This feature request is to add support for deformable animated inflow objects when using the Add Object Velocity to Inflow feature.

Right now this feature only supports rigid objects due to simplicity in calculating velocities inside of the object. Velocity calculations can be unpredictable if the object is not rigid. Calculating velocities inside of deformable objects is much more complicated and can take longer to compute and require more memory, but it would be a good feature have so that all types of meshes could be supported (ex: animated characters, animated object scaling).

This will be included in the next version (0.1.3b) which should be available by March 31st.
