  • Region of interest tracking for fluid simulation
    Patent number: 8452721
    Abstract: A method of simulation comprises controlling an avatar in an environment. Movement of graphical elements is simulated in a fluid coordinate frame surrounding said avatar, wherein said graphical elements in said fluid coordinate frame obey a first rule set. Said graphical elements and a first region surrounding said fluid coordinate frame are animated, wherein said graphical elements in said first region obey a second rule set. Said fluid coordinate frame moves in response to said controlling of said avatar. In an embodiment, a blending region blends the movement of graphical elements inside the fluid coordinate frame and outside the fluid coordinate frame.
