Water Picture

[ashimo]

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.
