There are lots of neat technologies happening in this video so I am going to list them in bullet form for convenience:
β’ Fluid simulation from Blender exported as mesh animation.
β’ Water caustics projected onto walls and characters using animated textures.
β’ Switch from forward rendering to deferred to support high quality lighting.
β’ Triplanar mapping to project wetness onto every surface around the pool and Max.
β’ New subtitle system so hearing impaired viewers can see what is being said by having it typed out on cue with the sound being played.
I really am happy with how this scene came out and felt myself pushing what I am capable of in making it. Looking forward to doing that some more for sure π€
