Physically based animation of fluids such as smoke, water, and fire provides some of the most stunning visuals in computer graphics, but it has historically been the domain of high-quality offline rendering due to great computational cost. In this chapter we show not only how these effects can be simulated and rendered in real time, as Figure 30-1 demonstrates, but also how they can be seamlessly integrated into real-time applications. Physically based effects have already changed the way interactive environments are designed. But fluids open the doors to an ...
