From 2016:
It was a project of nightmares but it was also a lot of fun and nice experiences. I never done a massiv simulation like this before but everything worked out like i thought. Production time was 8 days from first click with research and development and rendering.
One important fact: Without Linux not possible (it consume 12 GBs of Ram on Linux - compared to 32GB of Ram flush on windows) - simulation is calculated on i5 3550 with Nvidia 750Ti oc and the cpu integrated graphics card in 6.5 hours
Facts:
Full spectrum pipeline test of a massive fluid simulation
Including partial rendering on Gridmarkets.com with new closed beta features (it's awesome)

The lava simulation is based on Graham Collier's Lava Asset with alot of modifications:
UV Attribute promotion.
Shader System based on heat and uv textures
better heat disspersion across the flow.
Setup tweeking
Particle upscaling tests ( grain upscaling )
obstacle feedback test
AOV's
