Water Picture - ashimo - 07-01-2011
The digital water simulation applet applies procedural graphics to enliven existing images in 2D graphics.
Description
One of our favorite demonstrations.
- procedural graphics, image processing functionality
- high level constructs - displacement mesh example
- efficient specialized iterations
- exploits processing capacity on the client machine
Make existing static images come to life using Curl.
Instructions
- Move the pointer across the picture. It changes, just as if you'd dragged your finger through the water.
- Try rain mode, too, and adjust the scales for changing effects.
- You can use Curl to develop imaginative ways to make the user experience more interactive.
- The power of client-side computing lets you simulate the properties of water (or anything else procedurally feasible) in real time and present eye-catching animation with both quality and speed.
To run the water simulation applet on your computer click on the link below.
