SC15 Invited Talk – Nils Thuerey Presents Virtual and Real Flows: Challenges for Digital Special Effects
To get the motion of a crown splash right, surface tension is crucial. The simulation shown here uses a mesh-based approach (please click on photo to enlarge). Physics simulations for virtual smoke, explosions or water are by now crucial tools for special effects in feature films. Despite their wide spread use, there are central challenges […]
