What kind of liquid stuff are you planning?

Post by jstroh »

Just curious. I was looking in to rendering puddles and thought that might be an addition to this great project soI thought I'd ask :O

Puddles accumulating from rain and so on and so forth are what I'm interested in :P

Fully dynamic, particle based fluids are something I'd like to put in, but they are pretty far out there chronologically speaking. They would have to wait until after I get some more fundamental functionality in and performance higher (multithreading and so on). I have tinkered with the idea of doing some GPU-side simulation, though its not my favorite development environment. It probably would be the best for this kind of mass-particle system though(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqduA7myZok), but I'd like to focus on the core physics for now. Something closer (though still without any hard deadline) would be heightmap-based fluids with interactive propagating waves.

Might have to wait a while for physically simulated rain :D

Hehehe was just curious if you had thought about it. Very cool demos there on youtube, would be amazing to have that flowing down a street in real time :)

Oh and how much do I need to bribe you to head in this direction? :P

I'd accept payment in the form of a spare few months. :wink:

Depends on the classes. Seeing as you're a physics man I'm sure I wouldn't do so well :) CS and math I could do tho haha

Suprisingly, physics engines have very little to do with the sciency type of physics :P
