1. Controlling Simulations for Animation Systems Purposed topic outline

2. Key Topics Types of simulations –Gaseous / Smoke / Small light particles (leaves in the wind) –Liquid –Cloth / Hair Methods –Vector Fields –Path Based –Unconnected Particles (ex: Vortex Particles) –System of Particles Achieving results –Backward solving: Optimization problem Linear System Iterative Approach –Forward Simulation w/ controls: Animation Controls (wires, particles)
