We need to take it a step further than just a tutorial by being able to effectively explain how and why everything works and what we are doing. Since, I want to eventually create VFX for cinematic scenes I decided to demonstrate the pipeline for creating highly detailed cinematic fluids. Many programs, such as Houdini, have shelves for different types of fluids so I have decided to start with learning the background of Fluid simulation before moving onto creating my VFX.
