Simulation - The Animation Pipeline

Ordinary Animator

7.3 Simulation

Simulation in animation involves applying realistic physics to elements like cloth, hair, and environmental factors to enhance the believability of the scene.

Cloth and Hair Physics: Simulating realistic movement of fabrics and hair with gravity, wind, and character motion.
Environment (Water, Smoke, Fire, Fog, Wind): Creating realistic physical behavior of natural elements that interact with characters and objects.
Prop Physics: Simulating realistic behaviors of objects like bouncing balls or fragile items.
