PhysX Fluid Simulation
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.

>>If you where able to write a ICE node that can talk to the GPU, then doesnt that mean that GPU accelerated ICE nodes are also possible?
It is possible to implement probably anything that you can do in stand-alone apps, include OpenCL and cuda support and as a result - accelerated nodes. From the ICE node you can just call some functions which are located outside simage

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
I wonder if guys at Autodesk can do something like that and pass some of the stuff in ICE to the GPU... Guys at Fabric-Engine claim to have done it (and inside a web browser!!!) and they are (for the most part) ex-SI guys with a lot of ICE experience...

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
hi mr.core
thanx a lot for ur great work
i have problem for install ur plugin. i have softimage xsi 2012 , i put the px_dlls in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012\Application\bin and after that i run xsi and in pluginmanager / workgroups i connect application folder to xsi , when i want to open ur test scenes xsi show me an red error message the plugin is not installed .
can u help me please ?
thank u so much

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
You need to connect whole folder structure. That is, put everything that was in zip file in some folder, and connect this folder as workgroup.

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
Just guessing, but could it be, you haven't got the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) installed?
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
no i got that and already installed in my pc .Just guessing, but could it be, you haven't got the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) installed?
Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
thanks, but I get this message:Mr.Core wrote:You must get this message in script editor after first frame:
// INFO : || CUDA Manager Is Obtained! Created PhysX World!
' INFO : ICE PHYSX SPH: Succefully created PxWorld!
no mention of cuda , perhaps Ive managed to install the ICE compound but not the dll? I cant see the dll anywhere in the plugins
** EDIT *** UPDATE ***
ok I disabled the previous workgroup, downloaded again the archive, made a new waterfall FX workgroup and now I have 2 versions , one under Px2Si called PhysX simulate SPH and another under ICE PhysX - GigaCoreFX called PhysX simulate Fluid they are both the same compound although the Px2Si version has no execute node only outputs positions.
regardless of this , something seems to have worked - am now getting 60 fps with GPU enabled and reach only 20fps without and when enabled, have the message
' INFO : || CUDA Manager Is Obtained! Created PhysX World!
fantastic!

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
Thanks for making this available. Hope i get to try soon.

>>I have 2 versions
there are no 2 versions, just a custom node and main compound which contains custom node with some connection stuff
mamali132002
try to copy px dlls from px_dlls folder ( WITHOUT px_dlls folder, just clean dlls ) into the folder with main plugin dll ( ...\Waterfall_FX\Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64 )

Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
hi mr.core , thanx for reply . but i got that error again . i dont know how can i fix that . i have physx sdk 2.8.4 maybe the problem is my physx sdk ?
thank u again
thank u again
Re: PhysX Fluid Simulation in Softimage ICE
hm, could you try to uninstall 2.8 and try again ?
I really dont know why it doesnt work in such many people

I do But in this case it's not your fault [GTX 590 crash nvidia driver with this node also, just to let you know]Mr.Core wrote:I really dont know why it doesnt work in such many people

Ya, I know it. But we both know it's not your fault, heh? Can you help all those people with issues that they have?Mr.Core wrote:>>GTX 590 crash nvidia driver with this node also

Does anyone ever ask yourself if all that speed with PhysX and all GPU stuff works so great why it's not implemented in package already? Bad and lazy programmers at Autodesk? I don't think so
