Verve Painter

Verve (Dictionary: Energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas, especially in artistic performance or composition...) is the result of a curious idea I had to try using the graphics hardware to run a fluid dynamics simulation. Despite some little flaws, as you may observe at faster motions, it works astonishingly well across rather large resolutions. This permits highly detailed simulations of all kinds of liquids, and it screamed to be used for painting.
