Abstract: In recent years, computer animation technology has made a great progress, the generation and simulation of natural scenery have been a hot topic for a long time. A method for simulating fountain is presented based on analyzing the realizing principle of particle system. The paper highlights the motion analysis, generation, deletion of fountain particle. The experimental result shows that the method is of real time and achieves the intended purpose.

Key words: particle system, fountain particle, texture mapping, real-time
