Abstract :
According to the features of Direct3D graphics library and particle system, common parameters of particle system are abstracted. On the basis of them, more realistic rendering of the fountain is realized with usage of textures. Different from other algorithms, we present an algorithm in which the user can alter the fountain in real time by adjusting some parameters such as the velocity, the direction, the size etc. Furthermore, this method simulates the effects of the particles dropped into water and can be encapsulated to a module and integrated into 3D simulation platform.
