Rendering of Simple Splashes of Water

- Consideration of wet condition at the collision point -

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method for rendering simple splashes of water generating on object's surface. Based on the result of having analyzed movies which recorded experiments of dropping waterdrops, we create three types of models of splash of the water. The proposed method has the following features; (1) Generation of the splash of the water which reflects material and wet condition on the waterdrop-landing surface is possible. (2) Calculation of the orbit of the splash of the water considering with the influence of gravity and air resistance is possible. (3) Generation of the splash of the water which reflects the incident direction of fall waterdrop is possible. We confirmed the usefulness of the proposed method through generating animations.
