Our method captures compression and bonding between snow particles, and incorporates the thermodynamics to model the realistic behavior of snow. The presented technique is computationally inexpensive, and is capable of supporting rendering in addition to physics simulation at high frame rates. The method is completely parallel and is implemented using CUDA. High efficiency and its simplicity makes our method an ideal candidate for integration in existing game SDK frameworks.I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]AnimationPhysical simulation10.2312/pgv.2019110949-57
