Question: how to make fluids3 look more like "real water"? #6

I know, you don't have time for fuids3 development but maybe you can provide a quick tip: how to make fluids3 particles more like real water? I mean, maybe, changing particles color and opacity (make em bluish and semi-transparent) and apply some post effect to the final scene will make render looks more realistic?

I know, NVIDIA has perfect water demo (I already tried and it's perfect) but will be great to have ability to build similar effect at home :)

Hi,

We will be releasing a new SDK soon called GVDB Voxels. Included in this release will be a sample, gFluidSurface, which fully integrates Fluid v.3 and also performs water surfacing interactively using voxels and raytracing. If you would like to try it early, you can join the GVDB Beta program here: http://developer.nvidia.com/gvdb Then click on "Register for early access".. once approved, you will get access to the code and samples.

That sample is near real-time, but not quite suitable for gaming as it is intended for motion pictures and can handle much larger volumes with more flexibility. If you want fluids for gaming, try out Cataclysm. (https://developer.nvidia.com/cataclysm-flip-solver-gpu-particles)

Regards, Rama

Thanks a lot for suggestion, Rama! Just filled the application and (I hope so) it will be approved. It will be really interesting to run some exciting samples on my GTX 1070 and uncover full power of this prefect video card :)

Hi Rama, I tried GVDB demos (compiled & works fine on my PC) but I can tell you: your fluids3 is much more impressive than any GVDB demo! It's a really nice app and great way to demonstrate modern NVIDIA's accelerators power!
