So Facepunch...
If and when we make Fuck Shit Up, will there be underwater shit to fuck up?

I want this a demo, just so I can smash the glass tank of water again and again.

Now I'm wet.

nvidia had two other demos available for download ([url=http://www.nvidia.com/coolstuff/demos#!/box-of-smoke]here[/url] and [url=http://physxinfo.com/news/3049/nvidia-physx-fluid-demo-upgraded-to-ver-1-0-1-3/]here[/url]) that did fluid simulation in the past, but this is miles ahead in terms of how it looks

[Funny Hats]

It still kinda looks like jelly in some cases but considering it's realtime I'm not complaining.

Yeah it still kinda looks like jelly or slime sometimes, which I think is due to the size of the little pellets they use "under the hood". I guess smaller pellets -> you need more to fill a given volume -> the engine and graphics card need to juggle more objects -> not really worth the performance drop.

I do wonder how just performance-heavy this simulation is and when we might see it actually implemented in games.
