Principal VFX Artist Jason Key has once again impressed both us and hundreds of CG art enthusiasts with his latest experiment showcasing the capabilities of LiquiGen, a node-based real-time fluid simulation software developed by EmberGen creator JangaFX.This time, the artist demonstrated the path-traced caustics effect that can be achieved with the program, with the final result in Jasons demo appearing impressively lifelike. According to the author, the simulation was set up with the help of a denoiser and rendered at 20 seconds per frame on an RTX 4090 GPU. The creator also noted that this particular sim is not real-time, however, LiquiGen is also able to simulate real-time caustics, as was shown by Jason himself back in 2024:Previously, Jason also combined LiquiGen with EmberGen, as well as Blender, to produce a marvelous 3D simulation of fire clashing with water and producing lots of steam:And just recently, JangaFX evangelist presented a surreal visualization of Earths surface as a cloth piece created with GeoGen, a software for real-time terrain and planet generation.See more of Jasons works here and dont forget to join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Experimenting With Path-Traced Caustics in JangaFXs LiquiGen appeared first on CG SHARES.
