Title:


    300's Liquid Battlefield

Company / Institution / Agency:


  • SCANLINE VFX

Description:


    For Zach Snyder’s “300,” SCANLINE VFX took its in-house fluid-dynamics software, Flowline, to a new level. Tasked with demolishing a fair portion of the Persian fleet with a stormy ocean, SCANLINE combined destructive splinter-simulation techniques with its most recent advances in fluid simulation. Complete with open flesh wounds flopping in the water and breaking masts tearing through sinking hulls, this battlefield is every bit as bloody as its “300” brethren.

Software:
