Baltic Sea Realtime Visualization (Work in Progress)

[gameplay1301]

wow, really good job, there should be more of these instead of lady gaga video's on youtube, exelent work:)

[maggot5321]

This progress is going well, as I can see.. The only problems I have are

1.) The Salmon go though each other (Already stated)

2.) The animals seem to be 2d instead of 3d (not sure if 2d was your approach)

3.) At 1:07 I think the penguin goes through the ground.

Overall, great effort! :)

hey mpan i have a suggestion to make your fish`s bands look better!

dont make them moving as one (they are moving their tail in the same time) but make it like a wave (first one is moving and half a second later the second one and so on)

hope i helped your work is amazing!!!

[betaversion089]

amazing.

gonna use this as my dream scene wallpaper

[TheStarcraftGalaxy]

cool! I wish i could do that ahah

[Surirygirl]

Beautiful!



[Bluesummers89]

Reminds me of the fishing pond in Oot. Amirite?

[CALMSH1T]

#LOL I am living near baltic sea - never saw animals and fishes like this..+)

[rochelimit55555]

realtime? cool!

[Mafiage55]

the fact is there's not penguins in baltic sea i live in finland i have swimmed in baltic sea never have i seen a single penguin! but great work!

[drcool41]

amazing, truly professional

[alexaltea123]

great work

[x2xHalox2x]

wow great work....

the Salmons needs some work they go through each other ... right guys?.... :)

[mpan3]

@x2xHalox2x Collision detection, or any kind of neighbour awareness, is very computationaly expensive, which is why we avoided doing that.

I am counting on the fact that when the fish population is dense, you can't tell. And when they are sparse, they won't go through each other. Lazy, I know. :)

[totter333]

lol all ur missing is the ambient occlusion, volumetric god rays and realtime water physics! haha jk. it looks amazing!

[tek5828]

Are those particles following the penguins when they dive?

[mpan3]

@tek5828 The air bubbles is generated by the birds, so yeah, they form a trail behind them. And the bubbles slowly raise up back to the surface.

@mpan3 penguin farts?

[DKM101]

EwE6 biomass results? Uh... What's that?

[mpan3]

who cares? :p even I am not sure what these are and I work with them on a daily basis.

google Ecopath with Ecosim

[Icybearg450]

@mpan3 t'was nice thou thanx for sharing and really don't pay attention to morons that have no quality and make dumb comments

!

[onjoFilms]

Cool, nice work.

[gammabun]

totally insane !!!

but just a thing, it will look more dynamic if you set the birds as predators in boid physics so that the fish interact with them

[seaaroundus]

I think think boids works in the game engine, remember, this is realtime :D

[gammabun]

i dont even know what real time means, but boids arent restricted to the game engine

he probably uses boids on his swarm of fish

and the seals look drunk, they dont look like theyre fishing

and maybe its a bit dark for such shallow water

but still astonishing cant wait to see the next version

extremely impressive

[EggYolk]

looking nice :D godrays and bounce light next I hope

[dodgydavec]

Incredible. Awesome.

[NewlyWrittenSaga]

Perfection as I expected from mpan3.
