Description:

This video shows a new technique to visualize fluid flows. The technique consists of defining an initial surface inside a fluid as a set of points local-ized in convenient positions. Then the initial surface is deformed using parti-cle tracking of each point of it. The simulation contains reflection and refraction effects, and texture mapping to give more realism. The sequence was created with Alias using RayTracing.
