Why isn't Physics Spelled with an F?
Dreamworks hired some physicists that used to work for NASA to help animators with (what else) the physics of bubbles for an upcoming movie "Home". Many animation studios started hiring such people to create programs with realistic water, fire, and dust. Many scientists move to movies for the excitement of the industry and the opportunity to solve problems, and well, the cash doesn't hurt either. One of the eggheads expressed a desire to mix left and right brain. Honestly I can't blame the scientists for leaving the field of boring people talking about other scientists' theories for the field of being useful and having more fun. The article talked about animation's limits being pushed, and I just find that ridiculous, 3D animation maybe limited by codes and other computer mumbojumbo, 2D is completely unhindered, what you draw is there, no fuss, no math, no science. While scientists helping is useful and could help with the feel, and I'm glad they're in a more interesting line of work, realism has never really been my alley, unless history was involved.
