Presentation Transcript

  1. Notes • If you’re interested, readBridson, Hourihan, Nordenstam, “Curl noise for procedural fluid flow”, SIGGRAPH ‘07 cs426-winter-2008

  2. Time integration woes • For rotational motion, immediately find serious flaw with Forward Euler: instability • Better off using a more accurate, more stable Runge-Kutta method • For example: 3rd order cs426-winter-2008

  3. Second order motion • Real particles move due to forces • Newton’s law F=ma • Need to specify force F (gravity, collisions, …) • Divide by particle mass to get acceleration a • Update velocity v by acceleration • Update position x by velocity cs426-winter-2008

  4. Basic rendering • Draw a dot for each particle • But what do you do with several particles per pixel? • Add: models each point emitting (but not absorbing) light -- good for sparks, fire, … • More generally, compute depth order, do alpha-compositing (and worry about shadows etc.) • Can fit into Reyes very easily • Anti-aliasing • Blur edges of particle, make sure blurred to cover at least a pixel • Particle with radius: kernel function cs426-winter-2008

  5. Motion blur • One case where you can actually do exact solution instead of sampling • Really easy for simple particles • Instead of a dot, draw a line(from old position to new position - the shutter time) • May involve decrease in alpha • More accurately, draw a spline curve • May need to take into account radius as well… cs426-winter-2008

  6. More detailed particle rendering • Stick a texture (or even a little movie) on each particle: “sprites” or “billboards” • E.g. a noise function • E.g. a video of real flames • Draw a little object for each particle • Need to keep track of orientation as well, unless spherical • We’ll get into full-fledged rigid bodies later • Draw between particles • curve (hair), surface (cloth) • Implicit surface wrapped around virtual particles(e.g. water) cs426-winter-2008
