Sorry, Shandaman.


When you say "stop pouring" do you mean you want it to freeze in mid air or do you just want to stop it like turning off the kitchen sink?

To turn off the fluid so that it doesn't make any more just click on the fluid emitter then, in the attribute editor, go to Fluid Attributes and set the Density/Voxel/Sec to 0 . This will turn off the fluid so that no more will be emitted. You could start at frame 1 and set the Density/Voxel/Sec to 1 (or more) then later on use keyframes to turn it to 0.

If you want the fluid to freeze then you could turn it off as I just explained but, at the same time, change the bouyancy to 0 and change the viscosity to 1 or higher. 0 bouyancy will cause the fluid to not go up or down. Raising the viscosity will cause the fluid to be so thick that it won't be able to move unless turbulence or wind or some other field is really forcing it to.

I hope this helps.
