Tides symulation

I tested the fluid deformation in real time(made a small menu to debug it). It wasnt calculated based on physics, i was just incrementing position(this is position of the right peak, the rest is calculated based on that).

Of course i needed to scale it a bit, so you can see the water deformation.
It looks realy cool when the water is “streched” too much:

Fixed a huge geometry bug, made a shader for the water layer. The hardest part was configuring the pipeline so that the water layer and core don’t interfere whith themselfs and break.
Current view:

I improved my shader for solid bodies:
-shading responds to motion(previously it looked like the light sorce was moving with the object)
-now the shading is done per pixel(not per vertex)
-a bit of color is added to the opposite side

Here you can see before and after:

Today i focused on the physics part of the fluid shape. I used quadrupolar tidal bulge approximation via P₂ Legendre polynomial. In terms of physics it sounds complicated, but was easier than i exepected. However I spend a lot of time trying to get the geometry right, becaose my sphere generating algorithm is pretty weird.

Made basic pipeline for my symulation, improved shader use by creating helpful functions. This will be the core of the planet(it wont change geometry) so that was the easier part.
