Simulating Water Physics

[Chiseled_Cheese]

Hello. I am trying to simulate water physics on my own. Because Roblox’s water system can cause lots of lag and I do not have much customization over its appearance, I am making my own using a large part.

How would I simulate water phyiscs for both players and unanchored parts?

You can do that with perlin noise, and a anchorpoint grid in your water mesh.

Could you explain the process for me please?

Custom Medium Physics (Open Source)

UPDATE: The project is open source now! About the project Lately, I have been working on a custom physics engine for simulating how parts behave in mediums such as air and water. It was quite hard to get it right, since I had to deal with problems like numerical instability, time synchronization and unit conversion (porting kilograms and meters to Roblox and vica versa). Eventually, I managed to solve these with some help from the forum and friends. I managed to put my calculations to the test…

Explaining the whole process of how to integrate perlin noise into a anchorpoint grid is more time consuming, if you do not already have experience with perlin noise.
