Our simulator is in use by a feature film with a variety of characters
and hair styles. By creating a stable simulator, we are able to
generate most simulations using our default character parameters
(examples of the default parameters for our RedHead and Horse
characters are given in Table 1). These parameters are tuned once
per character, starting from the appropriate default. Eliminating
per-shot parameter tweaking provides a dramatic benefit to production
schedules and can have a great impact on the production budget.
Although many of the shots are “out of the box”, our simulator
provides additional controls and supports external forces for artistic
direction (a common use is to keep the characters’ hair from
blocking their face).
