Fluid Engine Development

From the splash of breaking waves to turbulent swirling smoke, the mathematical dynamics of fluids are varied and continue to be one of the most challenging aspects in animation. Fluid Engine Development demonstrates how to create a working fluid engine through the use of particles and grids, and even a combination of the two. Core algorithms are explained from a developer’s perspective in a practical, approachable way that will not overwhelm readers. The Code Repository offers further opportunity for growth and discussion with continuously changing content and source codes. This book helps to serve as the ultimate guide to navigating complex fluid animation and development.

從海浪的飛濺到湧動的煙霧，流體的數學動力學是多樣且仍然是動畫中最具挑戰性的方面之一。《流體引擎開發》展示了如何通過使用粒子和網格，甚至是兩者的結合來創建一個可工作的流體引擎。核心算法以開發者的角度進行解釋，以一種實用且易於理解的方式呈現，不會使讀者感到壓倒性。代碼庫提供了進一步的增長和討論機會，其中包含不斷變化的內容和源代碼。本書幫助讀者成為複雜流體動畫和開發的終極指南。
