SUMMARY:The Art of Simulation:  Sims in Action - NEW DATE
DESCRIPTION:The complexity of modern day VFX relies on advanced procedural modelling\, animation\, effects – in fact the simulation of modern physics and optics. Whether its explosions and blazing fires\, smoke\, rain\, molten lava or vast tsunamis of water\, or giant shards of metal and concrete as whole cities get razed to the ground\, Filmmakers are demanding increasingly spectacular and convincing ways ensure the viewer maintains the suspension of disbelief.\nWe’ve gathered a panel of experts to tell us how such effects are designed and created\, and to explain fluid dynamics\, procedural workflows\, particle systems and how this area might be changing. \nJoin us !
