Abstract:
Animations of freezing and ice formation are becoming increasingly popular in visual effects, making prominent appearances in such recent movies as X-Men 2, The Hulk, and Die Another Day. However, the methods for modeling and animating these patterns remain fairly ad-hoc. In this sketch, we present a complete physical model for simulating ice formation.
