SUMMARY:Fueling Fluids Production and Tools
DESCRIPTION:Art-directing Realistic Looking Procedural Wind on Curves\n\nA
 pplying noise fields to create procedural wind on curves has been an attra
 ctive method for its speed, variability, and timeframe independence, but t
 he motion looks artificial. We present techniques to art-direct as well as
  enhance the realism of procedural curve wind with the addition of collisi
 ons...\n\n\nArunachalam Somasundaram (DreamWorks Animation)\n-------------
 --------\nCandy Crush: Simulating Crystal Growth in Avatar: The Last Airbe
 nder\n\nDiscover how Image Engine simulated geometric crystals erupting fr
 om the floor in Avatar: The Last Airbender to capture the hero. Using cust
 om Houdini tools, collision-aware systems, and physically inspired lightin
 g, the team was able to integrate the plate and characters into beautiful 
 final render...\n\n\nAnders Elmholdt, Christoph Hennig, Matthew Kiefer, an

 Presentation of a production proven, fast fluid up-resing method allowing 
 high quality fluid FX to be generated from low resolution simulations.\n\n

 -----------------\nModeling Soot Oxidation of Flames as Level Set Erosion\
 n\nFrom observations of luminous flames, it is apparent that soot oxidatio
 n behaves as an erosion of the flame. Motivated by this, we model soot oxi
 dation with a level set equation combining physics and proceduralism. We d
 emonstrate our method by several examples ranging from small-scale flames 
 to larg...\n\n\nMichael Nielsen and Rook Bridson (Autodesk)\n-------------
