GWater2 - Diffuse Particles (Bubbles/Foam) 

Source engine: "please let me die"

prop hunt but you can be an individual water particle

Holy crap, water fountains no longer look like gmod 2008

If this will be able to make props float, many computers will liquify themselves.

SOME ONE STOP THIS MAN BEFORE HE CREATES ECO SYSTEM IN SOURCE ENGINE

Gman drinks gwater in gmod

If you told me this was a Blender animation a few years ago, I would have believed it. Mee's magic sauce making realistic water in GMOD never ceases to impress and amaze.

That stairwell is the perfect place to play

Watching your progress on this project has been amazing

bubbles forming from the original gwater was one of my favourite parts so i'm glad to see you start working on it here. although i do wonder how it will work for multicolored particles

Imagine GWater, but with sounds and full physical interaction with all objects...

valve used to hire people like you with talent like this. now they are just skeleton with heaping piles of gold at their feet

Wonder if an octree-like system could be possible for GWater3. basically after a certain depth is reached (probably scaled off of viscosity), the deeper the water, the lower the resolution of the simulation becomes. Basically put: a dynamic particle scale; smallest particles at the top, larger particles for anything with lower probable interactivity (i.e. at the bottom or in the middle of a large volume).

You never fail to impress.

new gmod flood leak looks awesome, also im thirsty now

I love seeing how it improves

I swear this is one of my favorite games, people like you create these wonderful mods 🙏

bro, you need to make your own game with this water and sell it

Just keeps looking better and better. I really wish games would have actual water physics like this, I remember being extremely impressed with the old Nvidia PhysX tech demos that showed off the technology back in the day, but practically no games used it in any meaningful way.

the fact that the fps stayed mostly high the entire time is insane

Imagine if this was all fake and in reality these were all made in blender. EVEN HIM. IT'S ALL FAKE. THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!

the bubble particles remind me of those old (and probably forgotten) gmod addons and i love it

I'm guessing buoyancy is something for the future?

This is basically GWater 3 now

what if you added a water portal that's just a cube that repositions the water particles that touches it to another cube seeing a flowing river in garry's mod would be pretty cool

good, now replace the lake in construct with gwater

Would be funny if you could use a stun stick to fry everyone submerged

I came up with a great idea for the Water 2 plugin: adding a floating water effect with props in gwater2.

Every update makes me wish i had money to buy GWater 2 (And yes, i know it will be free by the time it comes out but thats like 5 months from now or more, and no, im not telling Mee to rush the addon by saying that)

when float? btw amazing!

GO GO GADGET BITRATE DESTROYER

Amazing also support for portals please

My computah is die

Finally we're getting to the foam! IMO it needs to be way more prominent and way easier to generate. Does it even appear once you spawn the liquid? Once you filled the room with water and threw stuff in it, even at high speeds it wouldn't make any foam, which I think needs changing. And also rather than big splashes, I feel like foam should be more subtle. Small enough to show the shape of the waves and formation of all sorts of motion in the water, but at the same time, it shouldn't really be see-through at all. One last thing, can you please make a video where you make different sizes waterfalls? Just like taking a big hill / rock map, where there is a flat side over which a lot of water will be falling down. Like natural ones. Trying to make it bigger and bigger. The foam should really shine there and I would love it! Other than that that, your water now finally looks like water. I think you might have changed the reflections or something, but whatever it is, it finally looks like real water. Also the color isn't as blue as it used to be. I really didn't like how your water was blue. That was just too unrealistic, but here it works really well!. I think that if you can upgrade the foam, that would be great and then the last step would be just somehow magically generate water sounds based off the movements. Which I don't even know whether is possible in real time. Even if you don't do it that sophisticated, adding sounds to it will sell the thing completely. After that I'd just wish for more and more optimization or just being able to spawn more particles. No need for anything else... Great job dude, what a massive difference from when you started with this project. You're really skilled and Valve should finally freakin' notice. I sent an email to Gaben about you a while back, but never got an answer. Great job!

This almost reminds me of a scrapped feature from the HL2 beta that had maps adjusting water levels and even terrain in real time. Obviously in the early 2000's something like this would've have been way scaled back or just used some coding magic for optimizing but this is almost 1 for 1 for what they would have loved to have achieved. I was blown away when you threw the box into the stairs and thousands of droplets just scattered all around you. A feature like this could legitimately add some amazing atmosphere to environments. A small broken water pipe just spilling out from the ceiling above would be so cool. Filling up buckets to add weight ect. It could have legitimate gameplay purposes too. Bravo on this one. I remember messing around with a Nuke mod packs back in the late 2000's in Gmod and thinking that was the coolest thing i'd ever seen as it blew away all the props on top of doing burning damage to wood props. Think you just topped it with this. I'd love to see more demos of this with thinner props with gaps in them. Can't imagine it'd be possible on the older props but finding stuff for these particles to actually try and go through would be insane. Sorry for the long winded post but i sincerly hope you keep at it.I feel theres more you could tune with this, perhaps a way to have the droplets eventually fade out (evaporate) to give you back more particles before hitting that 100k limit. Stellar work!

Next make moss that grows in real time, oh wait. YOU ALREADY DID

Plans to add (optional) sound effects?

are you gonna make that pressure from liquid flow will push out prop even that heavy? (like on this 1:01 moment) would be cool but hard to implement ngl

HOT

looks so realistic

How, exactly, did you do this in fricking fricking Source

We Fucking with RU-vid Quality With This one 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

would sounds be possible? i think it would add alot to the realism

like it was said in the description, it does look a little strange, specifically the upstream of water, since in real life there are usually clusters of water spreading out and being split, while in this the foam just makes the water "glow". however, i still think this is an awesome feature that should 100% be kept (optimizable). especially the example of the dumpster being filled up with water.

wtf how

may god have mercy on your bitrate

Add particles reacting to explosions

finally i can make sprite in gmod

this made me belly laugh in a cool and wholesome way

It's been so interesting following this project! It's so good!

I would be ELATED if a map used some API with gwater to make a realistic sinking ship map which can actually be delayed or stopped with watertight doors and the such

"Mee" you've been productive lately. what else are you hiding?

The only thing that would literally make this perfect is diffuse particle properties that give buoyancy to objects in the "water"

Does this have static entrance/exit type objects yet? It'd be really cool to have a fountain with a partical spawner and a drain to make a continuous loop.

my pc cooling fan turned on just watching this....

My computer died from watching this

Nice! I really like when you do something this cool in Source. How is this even possible, it's SOURCE for god's sake! also funny underwater fires :3

"Hey guys, welcome to my stream! Today we're going to-" "Zachary, I told you! No more seyances in your bedroom!"

Have realistic water- Minecraft, gmod who next?)

Patrick: 3:37 "Wait. How come there's fire if we're underwater?"

It seems particles tend to shoot out of the map

My computer is sweating just having this play

Está bailando como Cleopatra.

Source: I'm tired boss. Imagine running this on hardware from 2004 lol. Man, you're amazing at squeezing Source.

Hi, I have a question about your volumetric lighting addon. Why did you make It so that you have to spawn It In and It's not just something you can enable and disable In the console? Is there a source engine limit or something? Just having It automatically on when I go to any map would reduce the amount I have to keep track of. P.S. I'm sorry, this water was made In Gmod?

RU-vid compression is working extra hard on this one

i don't know if you saw it so i rather point it out but for example on 3:52 minute the particles clip through and fall under the map

All we need to see is a waterpark map with gwater going down the slides and in the pools.

Imagine showing this to a gmod player in 2006

50BRL FOR EARLY ACSESS?! THAT IS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR ME

What an incredible mod... I can already see your next project *Sub-Atomic Quantum Real time physics simulation* with Source engine 3

A way to improve drastically is to have a toggle on + off switch in the menu allowing you to make the water either physics or visual based.

Great work maybe try seeing if you can add some fog/condensation when it hits objects or is falling

HL3 staff: Let's let them continue creating things with Source engine before we announcing HL3...

Now it just needs the ability to apply force between itself and other objects, and we can have pressure!

How do you keep casually astonishing us?

bro i wanna spend my money on this but i also want to buy fallout 4 🥶🥶😭😭 edit: bought fallout 4 and its fire 🤑🤑

How about sound effects?

Hey dude I found a secret sussy sound file in gwater 1 through data mining. wanna explain yourself?

Good stuff, wish source wasn't this nroken so more mods would be made, or at least ported over from half-life.

you should make a wave room where one of the walls oscillates back and forth.

This happened to my buddy Eric

Maybe you could create a system that makes previous particals bigger the more there are at once

What if there was like a lod feature where water youre farther away from renders as bigger cumps?

awesome that it's foam/bubbles solely because that's would it be in real life

Facepunch should just hire you at this point

Source Engine: Kill me Mee: Later

interesting, i think youtube has fucked this video so hard its difficult to see the effect but i wonder how traditional splash sprites would look in conjunction with gwater2 when being splashed or jostled.

if you manage to make this have sound and apply the Archimedes force, this will be the most realistic realtime water simulation out there

Looking good. If only RU-vid hadn't compressed the quality😅

I swear you need to recreate the HL2 Beta Blob NPC using this

this mod actually looks cool and fun, hope i will get it once its on workshop

youtube's video compression is this man's worst enemy

john carmack if he liked gmod and water

Can't wait to make some realistic fountain

It turns out it's just a spreading "shader".

can you disable the diffuse particles?

Can't wait for someone to use this in their Gmod machinima

omfg this is surreal.. next step: air on gmod!!!!

One thing I couldn't notice, does the water level rise when there's objects in it? That seems like a quirk that should be in there if its not already being done in the engine
