Lighthouse test

32 millions of particles, 600 frames, 4h 30m
Now the plugin supports Maya Fields, there's one field at the beginning creating some turbulence and then pushing the water a couple of times during the sim.
By the way, this is all in one pass, all the splashes comes directly from the simulation.

Really nice.
I am surprised your gfx card can handle so much particles.

Hi Jim, thanks

It's not a problem, 3 floats for positions, 3 floats for speed, that's 24 bytes per particle.
That makes 823 Mb for 36 millions and my graphic card has 2 Gb, so I still have room for many more :)
