GWater2 - Smoothed Normals 2

Looking quite smooth if I do say!

[@realmamitler]

This literally looks like a tech demo, high quality to the point it looks like this was made in blender

[@Argax_us]

Plot twist: whole video it's just a Blender animation

[@tristenarctician6910]

It is just a tech demo

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

This literally is a tech demo

[@givowo]

the visual improvement over GWater1 is *insane* keep up the great work :D

[@Rock_yeah]

Its so strange see this with a such old engine

[@stanleybochenek1862]

it truly is tho

[@joaobarosa7854]

two more papers down the line and this will look real

fucking awesome. I wanna drink it.

[@Hervoo]

This is my kingdom come

[@Kewton]

i can see the improved performance and ofc smoothness of the water is 10x better i have no clue how your doing it but keep it coming this is great

Man this almost looks better than the fluids in portal 2. Or maybe it just straight up does look better, hard to tell.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

The goop in portal 2 was using metaballs, which smooth the physical geometry. As a result, they look polygonal. This looks to be smoothing the rendered result with some kind of shader, so it definitely looks better.
One thing I'm noticing, though, is that it doesn't smooth the outline of the shape on screen--only the interior. They still look like individual balls on the edges.

Now we just need some water splash sounds for the liquid

[@lautystrike1]

My eyes can't believe what I'm seeing

this is very reasonable i think

[@hyperix-dead]

water so good my man had a heart attack

[@mochila7183]

absolute cinema

[@brickjuice2129]

Woah this is really impressive Mee; you really are a wizard!

[@gostNava]

Here comes the gel from portal 2

i NEED this
This is genuinely awesome

its the water shader from shark boy and lava girl

[@mrgoodman6692]

genuinely dope.

I love watching gwater2

[@d0g3br34d]

THE KING OF GMOD HAS UPLODED

[@NormalGuyThatIsCOOL]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

this is really great work

This looks amazing.

Maaaan that's amazing

[@lordmarum]

Oh thats very smooth!

[@linSP.]

0:40 the inventor realizing the fluid can be painted white

to create glue right…..?

No way...

okay that is SICK

[@saplemyrup]

Insanely cool.

[@Chaxlotl]

HOT

This is literal dark magic but its still cool. Keep up the good work!

[@jackman6625]

For how well I think I understand the source engine, (in terms of what it might or might not be able to do since I'm not a coder or anything) you really make me doubt that.
Pretty damn cool for what you've gotten so far with GWater 2.

Its powerful but difficult

[@jackman6625]

@mee4116 Seems like it would be some sort of tight rope with what works and what doesn't. Keep going man!

that looks amazing! do you think you could make it where you could change the viscosity of the liquid? i think that would be awesome

[@billymays8864]

Pretty sure that already is a thing

@@billymays8864 oh sweet

I've not used GWater in a while (bearing in mind that this is GWater2), but viscosity (how sludgy it is) and particle stickiness (how "damp" it makes the surface; how much friction the particles have with regard to the surfaces they touch) were already features.
Frankly, marketing it as "GWater" is a mistake. If you can tip it out of a bucket, Mee can probably replicate its physicality. I've been watching these videos for months, and I still don't understand how they do it. Goddamn wizard.

@Noxedwin i don't remember that feature but im glad it is a thing

Splash 💧

It has no right to look this good

this isnt even gwater anymore. this is blender water.

GWater = GPU Water

[@can_007]

looks yummy

you sir, are a fish

Ooh nice !!!

DUDE IS LOOKING SICK,i have a question like could you do something similar in s&Box? cuz in source 2 would be incredible

I’m not planning on modding for sbox because of how poorly their developers are treated

[@henrystone3558]

so cool

woah this is what portal 2 fuckin wished it had

[@dingo-gorditas]

so gloopy

[@limacequipasse]

Just wow

Yumy goop...

epic

now you've done it

[@AvgSpy]

How did you even manage to get it to run this well. This is honestly incredible!

funny liquid

[@breadcat1104]

Just like real wotah

reminds me of zibra liquid/real time liquid simulation. good job

[@sharoyveduchi]

Now we can have nickelodeon slime like in Portal 2 but even better.

Back on the grind, back to being high!

[@tristenarctician6910]

Aperture Laboratories present: The Multi Gel

I have hope

This looks amazing! Too bad my PC likely won't be able to run it.

If the specs are newer than 2010 you should be fine

[@How2Bboss]

Bro I wanna drink the paint soooo bad 😩😩😩

[@namesurname7665]

Yoooooo

[@Ciretako]

yay Mee ^w^

Liquid ps1 bios

[@sferavel]

😮

I think that this water would look much better than the first gwater if the water would darken deeper. You understand? the more water, the darker it is

Working on it

@@mee4116 cool!

[@megabro_allright]

Imagine gore mods with this

Mmmmm... Foam...

stable frames damn.

aint no way this runs real time in game

piss

make a big glass jar, then make the water white and fill it up

full of spoiled milk right… right..?

@@mee4116 no, something thick

[@memo_new]

I want LIDAR gamemode but GWater2

This is so cool and impressive!... Please make it white... Like mayo... Only mayo...

yes… like spoiled milk…. totally….

Will there be a lot of optimizations for the addon so it can run near-perfect on lower-end systems?

It runs 60+ fps (you can see the actual framerate in this video) on my hardware which is from 2014. I have a gtx 970 for comparison

My 1050 is looking quite nervous right now >:)

It runs on my 970 just fine, i wouldnt worry about it

This might be a bit odd but if you are okay with sharing and see this;
Is this a hobby? What other features are to come?
IF I recall it is capable of having an effect on props; What about players?
Do you believe map creators will try and take initiative with your GWater2 and apply it to their maps and try and make a new experience that is all built around it, yet if not them would you make a little obstacle course or something along those lines?

1. Yes it is a hobby and eventually I will release it early on patreon. (The final version will be free and open source though)
2. It will work for players but only for their footsteps since a fullbody collider didn’t play well
3. I doubt it because its a module install, but you could build one if you wanted

Splatoon gameplay be like:

I heard Valve is always hiring :)

i wish man

@@mee4116 it says so on their website, you should apply maybe

[@bingus_sleepies]

when do you possibly have a planned release date?

Unsure

The free version will be the same as the patreon version right?

The patreon is going to be an early access so it wont have all features (they will be added over time) but the actual free release could take months or years depending on how much polish I put on the mod

​@mee4116Or even years? Aww man but good luck

how is this even possible in gmod

I am unable to perceive the difference between this and real water

bro don't realize he's changing gmod for the better

[@Mittzys]

is it just a blurred second render pass

Kind of yes

[@Mittzys]

@@mee4116 Blurred second render pass that retains the alpha of the unblurred version?

gimme

[@Average_gamer302]

Thermal water

please disable the ability to make it white

No simulating spoiled milk

[@scoomplers]

i cant wait to simulate t4t lesbian gex with this mod.

could you make it transluscent white? no reason in particular really

For simulating spoiled milk and glue right…?

[@johnmm.]

ok this is water
