Realistic Water

Hi,

I am waiting for something like this in games for ages:

Ah yea, saw this vid on memebase, but i belive this would use up alot of cpu power and wont be used in pc games before more people have gotten their hands on better computers. But this looks awesome so i hope it happends soon.

I think it is more optimized than it looks

Was this done in realtime?

It's pretty impressive tech wise but it's displayed in a very constrained environment and I suspect it would use up a shit ton of resources. A game or level based on water and that uses them properly as a mechanic could probably really benefit from that. But most games only have a bit of water on the edge of the screen that is barely intractable with and would do better to allocate resources in other things.

Still really neat.

@The0thMonkey "New fluid simulation technique, using Position Based Dynamics approach. The demo was running in real-time on a single GTX 580."

I'd still want to know how the game From Dust makes water and lava work, I love that game simply because I can make dynamic water systems
