PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE

PhysX Fluid SimulationAuthor: Oleg Bliznuk
This ICE compound wraps a CUDA implentation of the SPH fluid algorithm and allows a very fast particle simulation of fluids on NVidia GPUs. CPU mode is also available, also rather fast and not limited by the available GPU RAM. CPU mode can be used as the default mode or as a fallback mode.

See the si-community thread linked below for details and tips on using this compound. Here's a test video by Tekano with 2 million particles.

Does anyone have this running on a GTX970? Just switched to two of those to replace the old 670 and GPU acceleration fails consistently now. It would be no surprise if the change from Kepler to Maxwell means the plugin simply won't work anymore, but if it could be confirmed that would be good.

cheers,
Jasper

I tried it some time ago on my 570s and it worked as far as i remember but now on my 970s i didnt test i yet.
I guess since its a very different gpu architecture the code has to be adjusted.
I would love to see a commercial (supported/full featured) follow-up though.
Me as well.
Maybe someone like Mootzoid could look into this. Specially because his tools are very particle based.
Or just anybody who has the skills.
I would pay for it.

So.. Soft 2015 + Gtx Titan X.. What's the chances?

Some nice GPU accelerated fluid sims would be handy.

Adam.

Hi Jasper,

You probably missed it, but maybe you can add some thoughts to this thread on Clarisse?
