As a connoisseur in watching water drip into a glass, I can say these simulations are quite accurate to the real world.

[@Wecoc1]

I usually like to ensure the pH of the water is strictly 7, sometimes 8 if I'm feeling a little more alkaline, anything 6 or below is a no-go. I check the acidity with an electronic pH-meter just to be sure. You want a nice crisp balance flavor, so no Dasani. I recommend Aquafina for a beginners water if you must go bottle, but honestly room temperature tap water through a filter is the way to go, then you get all the minerals. Now, glass shape is important, you can either go tall or you can go wide, we call them verties or hories (vertical or horizontal), I like to go with the horie because I really want to see the water between sips, I think looking at it is half the pleasure. I also always do throat massages and exercises to make sure you have maximum traveled velocity down the throat, HAAAAM, HAAA, HEEE, w-where are you going?

[@noutram1000]

I instantly thought of Jupiter when I saw those swirling patterns and I guess that's pretty much what the surface of Jupiter is like and in fact any World that has 'forces' applied to its atmosphere (temperature differentials). I wonder if these techniques can be applied to more accurate weather prediction...?

[@Incommensurabilities]

Maybe Jupiter is just a giant bubble 😂 /s

[@alexhb7949]

it’s soooo refreshing to see an audio simulation for once! it seems everyone is focusing solely on visual simulations, it makes me wonder when the audio version of ray tracing (whatever it’ll be. maybe some sort of smart reverb) it coming if it ever is

[@anywallsocket]

everything can be interpreted as vibrations; light, sound, you name it... it's all translatable via pattern matching. i'm also very excited to see where all this goes!

[@magicjuand]

i think what you are referring to is something like the image source method (ISM) for calculating acoustic room impulse responses that can be used for a convolutional reverb. it works just like light raytracing but for calculating the reflections of sound in a space from a source. obviously, it's quite expensive but there are methods for GPU acceleration out there and people are actively researching it. you can also pre-bake the impulse responses and lots of video games are already doing this, but the convolution reverb is also a fairly expensive process.

[@anywallsocket]

@@magicjuand exactly. thank you for the extra information. i wasn't referring to specific methods, just the concept that, for instance, if an AI is good at pattern recognition, it can be applied to any sort of data - be it visual, audio, or otherwise.

[@BRUXXUS]

@@magicjuand UE4 has some really cool tech coming, if it hasn't already, where you can build your environment then generate an IC for accuate reverb. I think the way they're doing it is almost like baked lighting but for sound? I'm definitely not up on all the tech and definitely not the math and code that goes into it, but I love watching the talks the audio developers for UE give.

Those simulations look... flawless. Amazing. The big bubbles with varying thickness interacting and popping... truly amazing paper.

[@mikeolson7566]

Very cool! Next step is to improve the collapse of the bubble incorporating surface tension (should see some spray) and the occasional bottom drip from flow (especially in bubble clusters).

Nice change in the thumbnail :D Before (multiple bubbles on green background) i didnt click on the video, but after - instantly :D.

[@kaptenbuehbossa]

as a bubble artist n digital artist, I'm very stoked with this! very excited to see how it simulates bubble foam geometry (how they arrange themselves). we can make various shapes of bubbles like bubble cube and bubble dodecahedron. last year i found a politope visualisation software called Jenn3D, i attempted to make 4-6 duoprism soap bubble, it's like a puzzle but i succeeded. there are hundreds of bubble structures in the software that can be attempted, but i think with AI we can know whether they are possible or not

[@CesareVesdani]

What is the maximum amount of colors that a soap bubble can have?

[@gehtsiegarnixan]

I'm always confused with the performance measurements. How can they just say it takes .06s. Wouldn't it be an average or a mean of multiple tries and depending of what the 10 or 100 bubbles are doing? When I render something it varies a bit between frames even technically nothing changed in the scene. How does this work?

[@alexanderkenkenberg]

dunno, but I also want to know

[@hadtoomuchtime7647]

The paper says it runs on the CPU and not in parallel. So I assume they just ran one frame and timed it. maybe

[@DreckbobBratpfanne]

This is also interesting for weather modelling since the behaviour of some swirls in these bubbles is nearly equivalent to the swirling going on inside hurricanes

[@danielawesome36]

The sound simulation made me smile. I have now made origami hands from the papers and held it.

It almost seems like we are discovering the algorithms of reality itself. Of course we know that the world is in fact quantized, but how long until we can simulate that as well?

[@Solizeus]

Physicalization of sound?? Yes and YES? Imagine not needing to create audio for whatever physical event and having it create a matching sound for it... that would take the jobs of a few people

[@AK56fire]

It got me thinking what if some future version of human have created a simulation in which we are presently existing and watching this video.

[@cortster12]

@@sparrow2255 No, the logic in that argument is flawed as it asumes a human-centric view on reality. If we are in a simulation, it's likely a universe one, and we are a byproduct and thus it wouldn't matter at all as we'll never know.

Amazing, what I need to understand is how more complex simulations don't always mean it takes an exponential amount of compute to produce. Is some detail sacrificed to get a more efficient result or are we just finding cheaper methods to represent reality?

is the general public able to access this research via a software, open code or an addon? I'm working on an art project that requires something like this

When it's creates sound, it takes sound from inside. This why it sounds so weird. If it also accounted for sound change for leaving water, and going through the air, it would be much more recognisable.

[@Madeinchinaagain]

So bewildered by this. What’s the driving force behind such a niche research topic such as bubble surface simulation? Like who funds this and why?

Any suggestions on open box software for modeling 3D structures and buildings? Doesn’t have to be state of the art rather something that’s intuitive and easier to learn

[@wenhailing3158]

Those swirls on the bubbles look alike the cyclones in the atmospheric numerical model, which have already had the ability to stimulate the synoptic patterns in the reality. Maybe the techniques could progress faster than we thought...
