Images: Pixar hits the 10-film milestone http://news.cnet.com/2300-11386_3-10000944-17.html?tag=mncol <quote> ... The physical simulator Pixar used for the modeling of the balloons was designed to build in random but realistic behavior by the balloons, and in one sequence, some of the balloons break free of the cluster. That was not intended by the filmmakers, but they kept the sequence in the movie because they liked it. </quote>
The computer routine in charge of directing the balloons goes out on a limb and decides to release some of them. This is liked and kept in the film. Sounds like the first step to a computer director to me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
