Hi,
Is there any open source Fluid Solver for a 3D regular MAC Grid out there? I have written an intersection routine to directly raytrace level-sets in 3dsmax with VRay. (Sample here: www.dimo3d.info/implicitelectric.wmv) Right now for raytracing Implicit Surfaces based on 3D texture maps. I am just wondering if I could write a small front end to a fluid solver for this.
I already found this one:
http://rtfss.sourceforge.net/
Anything else out there?
Best Regards,
Dieter
Hi DIMO
Blender’s fluid solver is open source I believe :
http://elbeem.sourceforge.net/
(Not sure if it uses level sets or not though!)
Also, any chance you could explain some more about your raytrace routine, pls?
Hi,
thanks for the reply. I remember I once heard about the Blender fluids, but hadn’t looked further. I will have a look.
If you want to know more about my raytracing routine, visit my blog and step through the archives. I have more detailed info about the algorithm in a pdf in one of the first posts there.
Best regards,
Dieter
Hi DIMO
Cheers for replying. Been thru’ your blog, looks very interesting your plugin! Found article very informative, if not as technical as I hoped. Any chance you could expand on what you’ve said on the site and/or point me in the right direction (papers, books, urls, etc), pls?
