I came across this video on Youtube today and thought I’d share it with you. It’s pretty amazing how good the effects look after all these years, it truly was way ahead of it’s time. What do you think about the Visual Effects in Titanic? Do they stand up against today’s top work?

Jan 23, 2012 First Look: Realflow 2013!
Realflow 2013 is coming soon and here’s a look at the new HYBRIDO solver that will replace the current solver. It looks pretty fast and amazing. Check out all of the videos below for some sims.
For those of you interested, the new solver is an implicit solver, as opposite to the current one which is an explicit solver. Implicit solver means that just only a few simulation steps per frame are needed, and this means, of course, faster simulations. It means also that “bounciness” is totally removed. The current solver needs many many simulation steps if you want to remove “bounciness”, and even doing it you can’t remove it completely.
