What kind of liquid stuff are you planning?

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

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

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?

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

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
