Naiad: A New Way of Approaching Fluid Dynamics




Funny name right? In Greek mythology, the Naiads were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks. That's what wiki says. Naiads from Exotic matter is getting a lot of play in the VFX houses lately. I have yet to play with it at all but hear great things. It has a new way of approaching simulations as opposed to Realflow. It uses a graphical node based paradigm to get the job done. If you want to see a boatload of Naiads video join the Exotic Matter Channel on Vimeo. It's very inspiring stuff .


And here is another Arnold sighting courtesy of Exotic Matter and Naiads and Vahan Sosoyan (I got that right)
