$Finally! We can look underwater in #VRAGE3 (confirmed: no aliens there). It is first implementation with just a distance based fog and nice refraction when looking through the water surface. It also features new FFT based waves on the surface.$

Video shows attacks by Israelis on a water pumping station in Ein Samia in the occupied West Bank, a vital station that supplies around 100,000 Palestinians with water. 57 such water stations have been attacked.

Terrifying. Look at the SPEED of that water. That’s what central Texans are and have been dealing with.

Water was such a critical aspect of Avatar that we rebuilt our entire simulation approach to enable a new level of realism and interaction above and below the surface. #WētāFX #Avatar #AvatarTheWayOfWater

My first experiment with stylized water! :) It's based on modifying the surface normal vector depending on the camera vector and some extra emissive rim light.

I struggle between enjoying simplification and also delighting in the look and feel of a picture dotted with lots of fun details Always oscillating between the extremes, usually dissatisfied with wherever I am

ELON MUSK: "I have a theory that if simulation theory is correct, the most interesting outcome is the most likely. Simulations that are not interesting will be terminated. If simulation is going in a boring direction, we terminate the boring simulation."

Waterspout (or Sengkayan) is a columnar whirlwind phenomenon that occurs above the surface of water (sea or lake), similar to a land tornado but usually weaker, and occurs in tropical/subtropical regions. This phenomenon takes the form of a funnel connecting the water surface with clouds (cumulus or cumulonimbus). 🫣😱😱😱

Fluid physics with floating particles in real-time in #Blender3d with #geometrynodes It has 3 simulation passes - forces from rigid bodies (1) are sent to fluid solver (2) that are added on top of simulated water ripples (3). I find it quite meditative.

I've been experimenting with the latest version of AutoGen + Swarm to create teams of agents and it's such a vibe🤖 Here's an investment team, that generates a report and suggests whether to invest based on stock prices and news. It's apparently still a good to buy NVDIA🙏🏾✨

The Rehbinder effect is a phenomenon in physics that reduces the hardness and ductility of a material by a surfactant film. A surfactant is a substance that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, such as water. When a ceramic cup is submerged in water, the water acts as a surfactant and weakens the bonds between the atoms on the surface of the cup. This makes it easier to pierce the cup with a nail without breaking it.

Water simulation has always been the holy grail of FX, requiring an incredible amount of computation to get right. For Battleship (2012), ILM had to reinvent their water systems to allow them to be able to deliver the show with it's plethora of shots in water. The alien ships are hundreds of feet long and therefore displace massive amounts of water. This, coupled with them making aggressive movements meant that hundreds of millions of droplets of water had to be simulated per shot to get a believable look of water interaction. Before their new water systems, artists were only able to get "1-2 simulations done per day", but with the new system they were able to "do many simulations per day", increasing the iterations and therefore the creative freedom and expression for the artists. ILM has since reworked their water systems multiple times, now being more powerful and accurate than ever, utilizing more powerful hardware and more accurate and efficient simulation algorithms. Today, water simulation is something that can be done a lot easier than before, even being able to do it in real-time with tools such as Unreal Engine and LiquiGen. Houdini is currently the most powerful tool for simulating water or any FX at very high fidelities. Check out some FX flipbooks from ILMs VFX breakdown showing their water work below:
