t seems there have been some issues running the Predray applet with newer versions of the Java runtime. All openGL applets now have to be signed or something. In any case, I thought I'd post some links to download the application so you can run it straight from your desktop. This should have it run faster as well. I also have some fullscreen versions, so if anyone is interested let me know in the comments and I can package them up as well.
Read MoreFollowing on from the previous water experiment here's another one but from the side this time.
This one uses Flint for a lot of the particles, displacement maps, masks, and some custom code for the waves. I would post the source files but it's a bit messy at the moment.
In addition to the falling objects, I'd like to add some with buoyancy that would interact with the waves.
I've always found water simulations fascinating. Recently I've been playing around in as3 trying to recreate some of this liquidy goodness. Here's a demo showing some of that early experimentation.
This was created using perlin noise, displacement maps, masks, simple shape drawing and a convolution filter. The basis for the mouse ripples came from Der Schmale
Let it sit or mouse over the water to create ripples.
