Fluvio Plugin Test
First I love to show this plugin called fluvio. I get it from asset-store what fluvio said about their plugin.

"Fluvio is a solution for real-time 2D/3D fluid physics. It is fully integrated with the editor and compatible with desktop, web player and mobile platforms. Fluvio can simulate both liquids and gasses, with a custom plugin system to extend its functionality. Out of the box, Fluvio includes multiple particle emitters and plugins, custom refractive shaders, and more. Fluvio Professional includes full source code."

This video is without voice i just show you how it works and look.
