Blender Tutorial: How to Create a Paint Splash in Blender
Why Blender Stack Exchange recommends it
Blender Stack Exchange users link it as the reference for the particles-plus-metaballs method of faking liquid splashes without a full fluid simulation.

What it is
A 35-minute Blender tutorial by Gleb Alexandrov (Creative Shrimp) on making a paint splash effect. It uses smoke-driven particles with force fields, converts the particles to a surface with metaballs, then sculpts, shades and renders the result with the principled shader.

I’m following a tutorial to create a paint splatter effect. I’ve got I’ve got a particle system and I’ve created a metaball to create a mesh from the particle system under parent in render. When I go to the particle system and try to make the metaball a mesh it just moves the particles on top of the metaball. It doesn’t create a mesh. Anyone know why? Here is the tutorial I was watching: enter link description here [this video] Here is an example of whats happening when I try to parent the particle system to the metaball in the render section of the particle system. IT won't create a mesh. It just moves the particles on top of the metaball. [LINK]

What I had in mind is something like this: [LINK] [LINK] Now I know it probably can be done with particle system and metaballs (something like this [this video] ) or fluid simulation. Thing is that in order to do it with metaballs you need a quite powerful PC to handle all the polygons and same thing with fluid simulation ( and I also have 0 experience when it comes to fluids sim). Is there a way to make object like in images with bend modifier or even maybe sculpting, any idea?

There is not a native solution I guess, but you can try "Liquid" from particles driven by smoke that can collide ... so can be usefull in some situations [this video] Here Liquid, it is not colliding but looks like [LINK] or try Fluid Particles [LINK]
