Efficient Simulation of Large Bodies of Water by Coupling Two and Three Dimensional Techniques Geoffrey Irving, Eran Guendelman, Frank Losasso, Ronald Fedkiw January 2006 We present a new method for the efficient simulation of large bodies of water, especially effective when three-dimensional surface effects are important. Similar to a traditional two-dimensional height field approach, most of the water volume is represented by tall cells which are assumed to have linear pressure profiles. In order to avoid the limitations typically ... [more] Additional materials: [movie.avi] Available in the proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2006 |
