This is a collection of JavaScript/GLSL height field water libraries for Three.js plane meshes.

- GPU-based height field water simulation for fast performances on high resolution meshes
- Different types of user interaction with the water: source, sink, disturb
- Water ripples reflect off terrain and static obstacles
- Two-way coupling with dynamic rigid body objects i.e. water makes objects float while objects create ripples on water after displacing it
SKUNAMI.GpuPipeModelWateris able to accumulate behind terrains and static obstacles
1) Two-Way Coupling With Dynamic Rigid Bodies
- Dynamic objects (and terrain) cause ripples on water after displacing it
- Water makes the dynamic objects float
2) Obstacles
- Reflection of water ripples that bounce into terrain and static obstacles
- Accumulation of water behind terrain and static obstacles
3) Water Types
- Different water types and their behaviour upon user interaction
- Flooding control to change water level

I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both tech and art. My life evolves round VFX, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks / sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming, including fluid sims, muscles, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in VFX.
I was interviewed by The Straits Times in May 2014 for my VFX work in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
