SUMMARY:Fire, Water, and Sand
DESCRIPTION:Art Directable Underwater Explosion Simulation\n\nWe present a
  technique for simulating underwater explosions using an animated volume c
 ontrol method that allows us to visually approximate the expansion and con
 traction of underwater explosions measured in existing literature.\n\n\nSe
 an Flynn, Alexey Stomakhin, Joel Wretborn, and Daniel White (Wētā FX)\n---
 ------------------\nSimulation and Representation of Topology-changing Rol
 ling Waves for Massive Open Ocean Games\n\nWe are proposing a novel method
  of capturing a physical wave simulation data with a set of approximation 
 curves that can deal with overhangs, changing topology, and strict budget 
 requirements in a massive open-world game where variability, artistic cont
 rol, and performance are of primary concern.\n\n\nVladimir Lopatin (Guerri
 lla Games)\n---------------------\nElemental — Fireplace Flooding FX\n\nTh
 e talk will focus on planning, development, and execution of water effects
  in the fireshop flooding sequence in Disney and Pixar's "Elemental".\n\n\
 nAmit Baadkar (Pixar Animation Studios)\n---------------------\nLarge Scal
 e Sand Simulations on Under The Boardwalk\n\nThe feature animation "Under 
 the Boardwalk" contained hundreds of sand shots of varying complexity and 
 needed an automated workflow to assist the FX team to prepare and run simu
 lations. A seamless look to the sand was achieved, from super close-up mac
 ro shots to wide beach vistas.\n\n\nJonathan Davies, Cheten Sharma, and Ni
 cholas New (DNEG Animation)\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Ful
