Smoke Simulation
Smoke Simulation is a computer graphics technique used to create realistic representations of smoke in digital environments. It involves mathematical models and algorithms that mimic the behavior of smoke, including its movement, diffusion, and interaction with light. This technique is widely used in video games, movies, and virtual reality to enhance visual storytelling.
The process typically involves particle systems, where individual particles represent small volumes of smoke. These particles are manipulated based on physical properties like wind, temperature, and gravity, allowing artists to generate dynamic and lifelike smoke effects. Fluid Dynamics principles often underpin these simulations, ensuring accuracy and realism.
