A method for rendering a particle-based fluid surface includes generating a depth image of a plurality of particles which form a fluid surface, and smoothing the depth image to generate a smoothed depth image. From the smoothed depth image, a smoothed surface position and a smoothed surface normal for each of a plurality of pixels included within the smoothed depth image is determined, and a shaded surface of the fluid is rendered as a function of the smoothed surface positions and the smoothed surface normals.
