Rainfall Simulation in Maritime Scene

Abstract

Meteorological simulation is an important part of navigation simulator. As a part of meteorological simulation, rainfall simulation has a direct impact on the simulation of final navigation scene. Particle system is an effective way to draw massive particle scene, the property of rain particles are analyzed based on the particle systems, then build the motion model, and control the generation and death properly by calculating the life cycle of the particles. By saving the hardware sources and improving frame rate, the result shows that the rainfall scene can run smoothly.
