Gunther Schatz about Cloth Simulation A better understanding of the process has lead to smarter software design; so digital artists now have very powerful cloth tools at hand. >Graphics cards and processors are also getting faster and that has really helped us too. The tools are much more interactive now, which leaves more time for creative experiment and variations. And being able to instantly visualize our ideas makes our job more enjoyable,< says Schatz. For the upcoming Sci-Fi flick >Sky High< about a school of super heros, featuring Kurt Russel, Gunther Schatz is developing a digital character that has the ability to liquify instantly; using Fluid Dynamics software he is also designing a character that will ignite and throw flames. _ cloth animation: silk _ wool _ next >>>
