Computer scientists have introduced a novel representation of waves that improves computational efficiency by at least an order of magnitude. Based on principles of theoretical physics, their method ...

Sarah has been an editor and contributor for Game Rant since 2015. After meeting her first Chocobo, she never looked back. Sarah majored in game design in college and utilizes that knowledge to ...

A wave breaks on the shore, sending up splashes of water and spray and creating eddies in the surrounding air. However, the digital simulation of this everyday natural occurrence is anything but ...

Before we get into the mods and shaders, it is important to be clear on the definition of “realistic.” There are two possible routes you can go for: either water that behaves like realistic water, ...

When designers select a method for simulating water and waves, they have to choose either fast computation or realistic effects; state-of-the-art methods are only able to optimize one or the other.

Hydraulic engineering specialists have unveiled the latest—and most realistic—generation tsunami simulator. The device, which is installed in HR Wallingford's Fast Flow Facility, is being part-funded ...
