How to make blood in Blender 4! Splattter and sploosh!

In this tutorial, I will show you how to animate blood splashing from a cut or gunshot wound.
I will guide you step by step on how to create the wound, set up the fluid simulation, scene, and materials. I will also cover how to bake the blood animation. This blood splatter animation can be a fun project for Halloween!
You will find the HDRI I used here: polyhaven.com/...
0:00 Blood animation result
0:07 Creating the wound for the blood simulation
1:44 Setting up the liquid animation with quick effects, Quick Liquid
2:10 Setting the values for the cut and the flow source for the blood
3:54 Turning off the border collision for the liquid domain
4:21 Setting up the animation frames, cache location, and cache type
4:53 Baking the animation data
5:20 Turning off gravity for the simulation in the field weights
