Abstract
Come learn about some ways to display waterfalls in the open source Godot game engine! Video game fluid flow is a complex subject, and this talk will outline various methods to cheat so that you don't really have to know complex math to make something acceptable. Inspired by a variety of waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, this talk will discuss custom tooling to generate waterfalls in Godot, based on how water would fall down digital terrain, and how to use other open source software for art such as Blender, Krita, Gimp to polish different parts of the scenery.
