Water simulation using shaders in WPF

I am searching for a way to implement a water effect for in WPF like the one demonstrated on Lee Whitney's blog. This is for a full screen application so it should rely on shaders in order to utilize the GPU.

So far I have found the following methods & code examples:

• WPF: This example does not live up to the requirements of simulating drops of water, as it renders one single water ripple. However it performs lightning fast as it uses shaders. I tried to add several layers of ripples on开发者_JAVA技巧 top of each other but that did not look right either.
• Silverlight: This implementation offers the right features in terms of simulating drops and their interaction as opposed to rendering one ripple. However it does not perform well at all. I suspect the example may not use the GPU at all but calculates every pixel of the bitmap in software. I may have misunderstood the code though as I am not strong in silverlight
• [C++]: This example is similar to the silverlight example. It performs a lot faster, but when scaled to a full HD size it gets too slow. As with silverlight it appears to me that the example is relying heavily on software calculations.
• Windows Surface appear to have a similar effect implement in their pond application. God knows how they did it.

Any ideas?

Not really an answer, but look at this WPF Shaders

I'm learning too, and found this resource, hope this helps you.
