Liquid Crystal Demo 2024
A downloadable game for Windows
A simple demo of the engine I'm working on showing different materials as well as a sparse and adaptive liquid simulation.
Current development focus is on adding features and not yet optimization. Performs poorly on some machines.

Performance Tips:
| Efficiency Cores | The simulator likes high core counts. On my 13900HX, they do add a major performance uplift. |
| Resizable BAR | For AMD/Intel GPUs, you might need a Windows Insider build for Resizable BAR to work, as I use the GPU Upload Heaps feature they are adding to the DX12 Agility SDK. For Nvidia GPUs I'm able to use NVAPI to take advantage of ReBAR. |
| Overclocking | Fully ok to enable, but note that this simulator uses AVX2/512 and all cores. |

It's really fun to play around with, even when my PC is a bit stressed. I would like to see a version in which I can define the sources myself and a possibility to delete particles. Looking forward to a new version. Good job. :)
Thanks for trying it out! I'm going to work on the scene and particle structuring systems this week. There's also a lot of reorganizing and code cleanup.
