Dynamical system simulation

Dynamic Simulation

Dynamic Simulation is the technology used in many powerful computer graphics software programs, like 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and many others. It is used to have a computer automatically animate something, like hair, cloth, liquid, fire, and particles. It is important because of the fact that it does very hard and boring work, while the human animator animates simpler objects. It was first used at a very simple level in the 1989 Pixar Animation Studios short film Knick Knack to move the fake snow in the snowglobe and pebbles in a fish tank.
