Description:

At first I set out to implement a real time fluid simulation based on the paper linked below. The author provided a lot of the code for the simulation itself in C so my main focus was figuring out how to display it with openGL. I ended up doing this with a bunch of quads. Each vertex had a density and a velocity that would affect the flow of the fluid. Here's a picture of what it looked like in the first stage with the quads arranged as a plane.

And here it is with rainbow colors.

The next thing I wanted to do was put this in a 3d world. I kept the fluid as a 2d simulation but arranged the quads in the shape of a hemisphere. At first I was going for a horror setting so I placed a bunch of dead trees and an old house. Later I changed it too be someone's eyeball, slightly based off this picture:

Here are a couple screenshots of the final version:
