ABSTRACT:
A ripple and foam creation apparatus and method using water particle data is provided to create ripples and foam, and detect positions of the created ripples and foam for a water simulation used to create visual special effects in animations or movies. The apparatus includes a water particle grouping module checking grouping types of water particles from received water particle data to selects small water masses, a ripple creation module determining a position for ripple creation by using the checked grouping types, a foam creation module detecting flow of the water particles and calculating a position for foam creation, and a ripple-foam moving/removing module detecting changes of the created foam and ripples over time and removing the created foam and ripples.
