I've fixed some bugs, improved the algorithm, changed the wall map and
rendered with AA. I think this animation show better the power of the
algorithm. :)

That's fantastic.. To see how someone beautifully controls math, and in our
favourite raytracer.. It's like 3 small presents to watch your and Zeger's
water, and eventually have the chance myself soon.. Now, combine the ripples
with the sinus water from Christoph Hormann, and Zeger, whatever he did..
:o)  You're probably trying this already.

I suppose your code won't have difficulties with multiple objects in the
water, but other shapes might not work?

Hugo

I don't have my code here, but it's a height_field with a granite pattern.

Btw: Rune: impressive work!  And I'm not only talking about your water when I
say that!

Stunning, Rune. Enough said!

Forgot to ask in my previous post.... can your water act upon other bodies?
ie. a ball floating in the water?

That depends... How is a ball floating in the water different from a wall?
In what way would you expect the water to behave different with the ball
than with the walls?

This has the potential to be a _very_ popular include file! Great work Rune.

The water would move the ball around.

Seems possible to me to simulate, if you define the walls with the object
pattern rather than an image_map.

This is great!!

How would happen if the waves wouldn't fade away that fast?
