Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to digital art software, and more particularly to methods of simulating fluids, brushes and associated media in digital art software applications. According to certain aspects, the invention relates to modeling techniques used to simulate fluids (and gases), which modeling techniques can employ dynamically sized simulation areas. In embodiments, these techniques incorporate modifications made to conventional techniques such as Lattice Bolzmann Modeling (LBM). According to certain other aspects, the invention relates to simulations of media using these techniques for modeling fluids such as Watercolor and “Wet Oil”. According to still further aspects, the invention relates to a “tool” adjuster paradigm for digital art software, among other things.
