Water surface visualization during a simulation is disclosed. Elevation data that identifies an elevation of a water surface is accessed. Based on the elevation data, it is determined that a camera view location of a camera view is on a first side of a water surface. Object data is accessed that identifies a location comprising an elevation of each of a plurality of objects in the scene. An organization of a plurality of objects for rendering is determined based on the elevation of each object of the plurality of objects relative to the water surface. The water surface scene portion is rendered based on the organization.

Water surface visualization during a simulation

A mechanism for concurrently generating a plurality of meshes is disclosed. A region of a simulated environment for a simulation is determined. An area that bounds the region is determined. The area is decomposed into a plurality of polygons. Data identifying a first elevation layer at locations in the region and a second elevation layer at the locations in the region is accessed. At least some of the polygons are processed based on a first elevation layer metric associated with the first elevation layer and a second elevation layer metric associated with the second elevation layer to concurrently generate a first mesh and a second mesh that include the at least some of the polygons.
