The third pass at smoke/fluids simulation again looks quite different from the previous two attempts, but this time it’s stable both when keeping still as while moving. Not surprisingly, as the current approach is more like Stam‘s fluid solver. The downside is that it’s much less processor-friendly: every new step (adding forces, diffusion, advection, updating boundaries, …)…
Last time, the results of simulating smoke were a bit instable and the visual result was a bit bland. Since then, I’ve been irked constantly by spotting smoke everywhere in the – real – world. And sadly, I have to admit I’m a smoker, so there’s no escape from that! :D So back to research!…
It’s been a while! The past month, I’ve been working on Wick3d a lot (done quite a bit, but sadly I can’t show anything yet ;) ) until I became swamped with work so free time was pretty much non-existant. (Except for last week, when I decided to kick back and play Gears of War 2.…
This blog’s been a bit silent the past couple of weeks, but I haven’t been idling at all – quite the opposite. Even with fresh copies of Dead Space, Fable 2 and Fallout 3 laying too near for comfort, most of my free time has been taken up by Wick3d (1 | 2). Recent developments…
Aw man, Mr. Doob went ahead and made me all stoked about Pixel Bender again (and there goes my patience, curse your leet hide!). I went back to the parallax mapping effect from my last post to see if I could make it work more correctly in Pixel Bender (using the steep parallax algorithm). And…
