Abstract:


    How do you animate 40 race cars at speeds above 300 miles an hour for several hundred shots on tracks that defy physics? Off-the-shelf car simulators don’t even come close to fulfilling those requirements, so these fuzzy-logic-brained cars were designed to solve the problem. Digital Domain built a highly automated, but still art-directable system inside Massive’s award-winning toolkit to create cars that move just like the hand-animated ones in every maneuver, from barrel rolls to drifting.
