Description:
Production of this fully computer-generated dam-breaching sequence was achieved with a rule-based dynamic system, which differs significantly from conventional keyframe animation or pure dynamic simulation. Instead of separately animating each chunk, fragment, or element of dust, water, or mist, software was developed to combine all dynamic behavior, interactions, and dependencies in one big rule system. With rule-based dynamic simulation, control of the whole visual effect sequence was extremely simplified, which dramtically reduced the amount of work.
