<p>Cook goes on to explain how the fluid simulation was used to create an animated surface mesh that made it into the engine, going over the particle techniques used to complete the look of the flood in <em>Uncharted 3</em>.</p>
<p>He also covers shader features for both the surface and the particles before closing off the talk by explaining the technique used to light the particles.</p>
