Dynamic simulation of interaction between water and an object

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions rendering a view of a virtual environment that includes a body of fluid that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• dividing the body of fluid into a plurality of tiles having consistent size and shape;
• generating a distribution of waves for the plurality of tiles;
• defining a reactive region overlaying at least some of the plurality of tiles;
• identifying an object within the reactive region;
• 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.

A video sequence depicting a view of a virtual environment that includes a body of fluid, the video sequence comprising at least a subset of frames generated by:

• dividing the body of fluid into a plurality of tiles having consistent size and shape;
• generating a distribution of waves for the plurality of tiles;
• defining a reactive region overlaying at least some of the plurality of tiles;
• identifying an object within the reactive region;
• 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.
