Physics Forests: Using Machine Learning for Real-time Fluid Simulation - ACM SIGGRAPH Blog

During our last trip Los Angeles, conference participants experienced a thrilling machine-learning, real-time demonstration as part of the SIGGRAPH 2017 Real-Time Live! showcase: Physics Forests. This data-driven fluid simulation, with surface generation, foam, coupling with rigid bodies, and rendering, is capable of simulating several million particles in real time. It uses the regression forest to estimate the behavior of particles and rendered surfaces. The method can handle a wide range of fluid parameters. Since then, Physics Forests has only grown and built on the capabilities it boasted in 2017.
