An image processing method, system, and apparatus are provided. The method includes obtaining an interaction area in a current image frame in which an interaction space of a first object is intersected with a first plane on which a second object is located, a target object in the second object being located in the interaction area. A base image of a water wave animation corresponding to the interaction area is generated, where plural ripples are displayed in the base image. By using a first target ripple of the plural ripples, the target object is moved to a position that is in the current image frame and that corresponds to a ripple position of the first target ripple in the base image, the first target ripple corresponding to the target object.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth an Eulerian fluid simulation technique which enables real-time simulations of large scale three dimensional fluid volumes that include free surface water. A hybrid grid representation composed of regular cubic cells on top of a layer of tall cells is used to reduce computation time. Water above an arbitrary terrain can be represented without consuming an excessive amount of memory and compute power, while focusing simulation effort on the area near the surface of the water to produce accurate results. Additionally, the grid representation may be optimized for a graphics processor implementation of the fluid solver.

A method of forming a volumetric effect on a game map of a video game is provided. In the method, a variable density volume of the game map is determined based on a mesh of the game map and a bounding box. The variable density volume includes the volumetric effect. The variable density volume is sliced into a plurality of texture layers. Each of the plurality of texture layers includes information associated with at least one of the volumetric effect or the mesh. An interaction between a virtual object on the game map and the volumetric effect is determined based on movement of the virtual object. The volumetric effect is rendered based on a cut out of the virtual object in the variable density volume and the determined interaction.
