Abstract

In this article is presented an algorithmic approach to a problem of real-time visualization of foam arising in the stern part of the boat when it moves along the water surface. This problem usually appears during marine trainer's development. For solving of this problem a general method was developed. In this method two algorithms are used. The first algorithm generates procedural texture of foam using particle system as a model. The second algorithm uses this texture as an input data and renders it according to the boat movement parameters. This algorithm works 4 - 5 times faster than the first algorithm and could be used in real-time applications. The method presented in this article is a general method and it could be used for modeling fuzzy objects such as flame, clouds, etc.
