Abstract
Real-time simulation of liquids is disclosed. A liquid may be modeled as a collection of particles. Particles separated from one or more nearest neighbor particles by a distance greater than a threshold distance may be separated out as droplets. An iso-surface may then be determined and rendered for the particles not separated out as droplets. The droplets may be rendered as sprites.
