I have recently coded a height field water simulation from scratch using JavaScript and GLSL (for GPU acceleration). The simulation runs real-time in web browsers.
Below are some screen recordings of the simulation running in Chrome. Links to the actual online demo are available for you to try it out on your own.
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
The source codes are made fully open-sourced. For more information, please visit the skunami.js page.

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.
