ABSTRACT
The Druun in Walt Disney Animation Studio’s “Raya and the Last Dragon” is a unique character, both in design and in implementation. Over the course of this film, unique solutions were designed to overcome the technical challenges of having a creature made of both a fluid and a web like structure. In this talk we will present the techniques used to bring one of the Druun’s amazing features to life: the webbing.

Synthesizing waves from animated height fields
Computer animated ocean waves for feature films are typically carefully choreographed to match the vision of the director and to support the telling of the story. The rough shape of these waves is established in the previsualization (previs) stage, ...
Editing Fluid Animation Using Flow Interpolation
The computational cost for creating realistic fluid animations by numerical simulation is generally expensive. In digital production environments, existing precomputed fluid animations are often reused for different scenes in order to reduce the cost of ...
Real-time controllable fire using textured forces
CGI'2012 ConferenceFluid dynamics can produce realistic looking fire effects, which are heavily used in animation and films. However, the parameters of the various underlying physical equations are not intuitive enough to be controlled easily. As a result, animators face ...
