ABSTRACT
In Avengers: Endgame we wanted to improve the physical accuracy of our simulations and level of artistic control for the look of our combustion simulations, i.e. explosions, grenades and fire. Our in-house Simulation RnD department developed an improved combustion solver, internally referred as Combustion 2. This paper will focus on some of the technical aspects of the fluid solver, however the presentation will pivot more towards the production work related to its adoption on Avengers: Endgame.

Physics-Based Combustion Simulation
We propose a physics-based combustion simulation method for computer graphics that extends the mathematical models of previous efforts to automatically capture more realistic flames as well as temperature and soot distributions. Our method includes ...
Procedural approach to animation driven effects for Avengers: Endgame
SIGGRAPH '19: ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 TalksThis article describes the workflow for delivering real-time FX elements to animation in an omni-directional way and how they get processed for further stages, as it was used on 'Avengers: Endgame' at Weta Digital. We will discuss our procedural ...
Animating suspended particle explosions
This paper describes a method for animating suspended particle explosions. Rather than modeling the numerically troublesome, and largely invisible blast wave, the method uses a relatively stable incompressible fluid model to account for the motion of ...
