Comment on One of the most amazing physics engines I’ve ever seen

If this isn't real time, then this isn't that impressive. This type of fluid rendering has been possible for almost a decade:

That said, if it is realtime, then yay.

No way this is real time, not even close. There's a frame rate counter visible in a couple of the videos (see http://vimeo.com/7455632, for example), and it's going at about 3-4 fps for the lowest detail models, which only have somewhere around 1000 points. The highest detail ones have millions, and probably took hours if not days to render.
