I have decided to release my Computational Fluid Dynamics code as a free resource for users of the Torque 3D game engine.<\/p>\n

My resource can be found here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.garagegames.com\/community\/blogs\/view\/22519<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have duplicated the text of the resource below.<\/p>\n

\"ScreenHunter_27<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This resource adds support for “metablobs” to T3D. This can allow for very realistic fluid simulations, much more so than can be achieved with particle effects.<\/p>\n

Included are a realistic Water material, a Lava Material, A Tar material, and a Mud material. I have also included a ported version of the renderMonkey glitter shader.<\/p>\n

Tutorial:<\/p>\n

First, download the resource from here: (4.2MB’s, .RAR archive)
\nhttp:\/\/www.phoenixgamedevelopment.com\/downloads\/FluidDynamics.rar<\/p>\n

Copy the “Fluid Dynamics” folder to:
\n“game\/art\/shapes\/FluidDynamics”<\/p>\n

Inside the archive is a folder called “SHADERS”. All files in this folder should be copied to:
\ngame\/shaders\/common\/
\nDrop the files directly in that folder, do not include the “SHADERS” directory itself.<\/p>\n

There should also be a folder called “CODE”. All files in this directory should be added to:
\n“engine\/source\/T3D\/examples\/metaBlobs”
\nIn your compiler, you will then need to add these files to the build.<\/p>\n

In order to add MetaBlob based objects to the world using the editor, add the following line to:
\n“game\/tools\/worldeditor\/scripts\/editors\/creator.ed.cs<\/p>\n

Around line 100, under:
\n%this.registerMissionObject( “RenderShapeExample” );
\nadd:
\n%this.registerMissionObject( “metaBlobExample” );<\/p>\n

The resource folder also contains a sample mission file showing how to create a metablob object from code.<\/p>\n

Finally, execute the file “fluiddynamics.cs” by adding the line:
\nexec(“art\/shapes\/FluidDynamics\/fluiddynamics.cs”);
\nto:
\n“game\/scripts\/server\/scriptExec.cs”<\/p>\n
