Week 9
Water Simulation
Since this project is part of my last final project, I will not close the storyboard yet. I’ll get back to it soon. First, I focus on water simulation.
Since the ocean tank method was not efficient, I decided to simulate the water in a flat plane and then deform it like a maelstrom
I deformed it using distance to origin and created gravity vector
Using point deform, I got the gravity back to the flat plane and this is ready to simulate
I also created rotational force
After setting up all the nodes on dops, I was able to simulate in higher resolution than before in less time
Using point cloud, I got the forces into action
But there created a problem. Points were allocating in the middle. So I am deleting the points in the middle
After simulation these points are so dense. Very high res
I applied the same deformer I created
But these didn’t give me proper white water. So I had to create surface and velocity fields for white water
And I created my own white water solver
Using this source, I was able to create white water like this
I also used the same points in smoke sim to create bubbles under water
