Abstract

We present a system for real-time animation of large particle sets using GPU computation and memory objects in OpenGL. Our system implements a versatile particle engine, including inter-particle collisions and visibility sorting. By combining memory objects with floating-point fragment programs, we have implemented a particle engine that entirely avoids the transfer of particle data at runtime.
