Realistic Fluid Simulations

This is just a compilation of some of my favourite fluid simulations, including some smoke, through creative commons videos I have found on KZbin.
Most were made in RealFlow, although some were made in Blender. Some of the RealFlow ones were simply visualised with OpenGL, while others were rendered with variety of renderers like Maxwell Render.
Songs are "Dub Zap" and "Trancer" by Gunnar Olsen.
I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

[@davidsirmons]

That water at 6:44 is perfect. I want that even if it's a small scale. Gotta have.

[@LeadingNowhere]

davidsirmons That water isn't a simulation, but a plugin for Cinema 4D called HOT4D. It's basically a deformer, and it's fun to play with. It's free, so if you have C4D, you can start using it!

[@davidsirmons]

Need a water method for Unity 5 that does huge scale waves. Thanks tho.

[@MobyMotion]

LeadingNowhere Good thing about it is that you don't need to bake for ridiculous amounts of time !

[@s01enik98]

Moby Motion а почему по русски написал???

[@BecineStudio]

The HOT4D Plugin is based on Houdini FX Ocean Waves Engine.. Houdini FX is the best simulation software. Take a look on it: www.sidefx.com/products/houdini-fx/

Step 1: Buy a fucking monster PC Edit: I've not tried other softwares, but I did this on Blender and to get this level of detail on my computer (a 4 years old laptop) it would takes hours just to bake the animation. Rendering would take a lot more.

[@KingPeuche]

Most PCs can actually render this pretty well. As long as it's a recent PC. Even a current 500$ laptop could realistically create and run this pretty smoothly.

[@FlyingBanana78]

Only downside is the bake times involved especially working on a laptop such as the one I am on i3 with 8 gigs of ram LOL actually working on a fluid and smoke sim now that has been baking for about 2 hours and is at 50 percent. But yes it will get the job done and will render the scene decently over a couple weeks while sitting in the freezer. ;)

[@Advection357]

Better to make 1 nice simulation... rather than 30 mediocre ones... not hating... just my 2 cents. 6:44 the ocean shader is not bad.

[@EddyKorgo]

that was 2014. Its 2016 and still not in a games. there goes my 50 cents

[@nUrnxvmhTEuU]

That's because most of the simulations are to heavy to run in real time. They're pre-rendered.

[@delta5160]

Video games are rendered and calculated on the fly. Calculating the physics of a fluid takes a lot of computer power; you couldn't do it in real time unless you had a ludicrously powerful computer.

[@EddyKorgo]

[@mikefire3998]

Ich weiß nicht, was beeindruckender ist, dass wir die physikalischen Vorgänge so gut verstehen, dass wir sowas komplexes simulieren können, dass wir die Rechenkraft für solche Simulationen besitzen oder das jemand in der Lage, das zu programmieren.

[@budgiesarebest1785]

4:50 reminds me of those giant bucket things at some waterparks

[@hbaggg]

I seriosuly thought 0:27 was live action for a second there.

[@keke7802]

same

[@gusbates-haus3209]

Same! The easiest way to tell that its simulated is that the liquid doesn't fully settle into the thin layers you get normally, creating the raised bumps that you see towards the end, and the fact that the tiny droplets don't conjoin once they've landed. That, 4:25, and 6:54 are some of the best simulations I've ever seen!

that should be used in some videogame

[@woutmotmans6240]

Šimon Očkáš yeah but it would be a videogame dedicated to the water because the game would have no ram to run something else

[@Lovreli]

Wout Motmans so by your coment here you say that the ram does the rendering....right? in that case you are dumb....the graphics card and sometimes the cpu do the rendering..

[@woutmotmans6240]

lovreli mate I know but if it would be rendering and calculating such things constantly based on factors of what happens in the game, a lot of ram will be used. if you would only have E 1 gigs of ram for example you wouldn't be able to do such things. of course a good graphic card would be essential but far too less to use in a real game.

I know this is about fluid simulations I wonder what simulation you used for the rock wall at 6:12? How did you make the pieces hold back against the fluid 'till they collapsed?

[@Teneregubben]

Thank you Gunnar Olsen!

[@misterdubsteppa]

Where do you compute the collisions of the fluids with the static objects? On the GPU or the CPU? I first thought the GPU but wouldn't that be really dump, because you need to give the shader the positions of all the static objects?

[@juicy6997]

3:15 I can't believe that music started playing....

[@Levi-Friss]

Ticks me off when people act all cocky saying the smoke one isn't a fluid and there acting like there all smart In physics fluid means any substance which constantly deforms under applied shear stress

[@jessegauthier6985]

But... Isn't that what your doing now?

[@Levi-Friss]

Peep no sir, I'm complaining about people why act all smart but really should do more research.

[@jessegauthier6985]

I just scrolled down 3 show mores. Have not seen a single person complain about this... Probably because people aren't nearly as stupid as you pretend. Its kinda obvious you just saw the smoke, thought "Wouldn't it be funny if someone thought it wasn't a fluid?" then saw a perfect opportunity to act all cocky on the internet...

[@Levi-Friss]

Peep it's because those comments don't get as many likes so they're buried a little deeper, and I'm sorry if I came of rude. What really happened was I saw that there was a gas and vaguely remembered something about gasses being fluids from my physics class after seeing the comment, so I researched it and was informing others.

[@Hanuman_]

Irritation Gaming isn't it actually just smoke moving through liquid though

[@slabby69]

I remember watching this as a little kid and it still gives the memories

[@DiggoryJiggory]

I can say with confidence that fluid sims have gone a long way

[@MrCallocduty701]

Liquid looks great but the only challenge left to make it 1/1 with real life is the floating effect you get when water is scattered on a flat surface, and there would also need some reflection on previously covered area to simulate being wet.
