Abstract
A view of a virtual environment that includes a body of fluid is rendered by a method that includes dividing the body of fluid into a plurality of tiles having consistent size and shape and generating a distribution of waves for the plurality of tiles. A reactive region overlaying at least some of the plurality of tiles is defined and an object within the reactive region is identified. The method further includes determining an influence of the object on fluid within the reactive region, simulating motion of the fluid in the reactive region using the determined influence of the object, and rendering a frame of a video sequence including the view of the virtual environment, the view including a visual representation of at least a portion of the body of fluid.
