A brief approach of simulation in VFX & Games environment, I talked about some common concepts in simulation media like crowds and fluid simulation in physics engines. Also The Interstellar Case, about the Gargantua Black Hole simulation was amazing and I wanted to share it. And about some simulation games, that are commonly used for analysis in real-games environments.

4. A little bit of
simulation’s Concept
Simulation is…
5. Acting out or mimicking an actual or probable real
life condition, event, or situation to find a cause of a past
occurrence (such as an accident), or to forecast future effects
(outcomes) of assumed circumstances or factors.
6. The Model
A computer model, as used in modeling and simulation
science, is a mathematical representation of something
• A person
• A building
• A vehicle
• A tree
• Any object A model also can be a
representation of a process
7. – A mass of data
– Equations and computations that mimic the actions of
things represented.
– Models usually include a graphical display that translates
all this number crunching into an animation that you can
see on a computer screen or by means of some other
visual device.
Models are created from:
8. Yes, simulations use Math!
Math in simulation is as electricity in almost
electronic devices.
In simulation games, physics and geometry spatial
are relevant, according with the topic, are Key
Parameteres!
9. Math are fun!
Also, in 3D enviroments, the whole shapes,
are based in geometry and translation.
Simulations games, like flight sims, use a lot
of math calculations to recreate the gravity
and friction with air.
12. What can we do with simulation?
• Training dummies people!
• Process Improvement
• Predicting
• Risk management
• VideoGames
• VFX
• Teaching and education
13. What can we do with simulation?
• Military application like Atomic Bombs evaluation
• Medical, like dose management
• Business, optimization of decitions for Marketing and
productivity
• Social behaviour
14. A little bit of Simulation’s Concept
• FX Simulations
– Common applications: Crowds, Fluids
– Intertellar Case: Gargantua Black Hole
What about games?
Conclusions
Agenda
15. VideoGames are an amazing way to
implement simulation apporach
In simples words, a set of software that provides us
simulations for physical systems and is used in
graphics, films and videogames.
FX Simulations
16. Crowds
Crows are used a lot in movies, because the team
needs to fill the whole space with characters, and
those characteres have to provide convincing
behaviors to the audience.
19. Entities are given artificial intelligence, which guides the entities
based on one or more functions, such as sight, hearing, basic
emotion, energy level, aggressiveness level, etc.
Entities are given goals and then interact with
each other just as members of a real crowd
would.
20. Fluids & particles
Emulates the motion of a
described fluid, making use of
the Euler equations or Navier-
Stokes equations which describe
the physics of fluids, or any
simplified version of them.
Key Parameters can be find
them in those equations

25. What about games?
There’s not reason to explain what a game is,
but what we know is how they are getting
more realistic throught the years.
26. • Games used the same FX software and
engines to accomplish realistic emotions in
your hands.
27. EA Sport are the most popular sport games series, because
these products are used no just for play with friends, but also
used for simulations and diagnosis in sport management skils.
Sport Games
29. Conclusions
• Simulation based on General Systems Theory, can be applicated in almost
everything
• In media and entertaiment, simulation is used for VFX and motion graphics
• Games, are usually developed with engineers that have knowledge in reality
simulation
• Also, crowd simulations can applied to understand social behaviour
• Simulation, are common used for military prediction, like atomic bomb
behaviour

Training
An effective training simulation presents a realistic environment for users to experience complex situations and try out new techniques. For example, to teach users how to complete tasks using software used at your business, you can use free tools to capture screens, provide instruction and allow employees to practice taking the right steps to take to get work done. Other types of simulations present participants with a case study and require them to answer questions and make decisions. You can use simulations to teach corporate responsibility and ethics, business acumen and leadership. Additionally, free online games enable participants to create and run a company in a fun, competitive, multi-player environment.
Process Improvement
Simulation models of business processes help analysts examine business practices in order to improve them. A typical simulation model focuses on a specific aspect of your business, such as manufacturing or finance. By honing in on the details of how things work, you can pinpoint bottlenecks and try out new techniques to see if small changes can make a big impact. For example, you can use free online tools to diagram processes. By laying out the interdependencies of resources and animating their interaction, you often can see problems that go unnoticed when experienced in real time.
Predicting Outcomes
Using spreadsheets, you can simulate what might happen if certain conditions exist. This helps you generate more accurate forecasts. You can use your existing data and manipulate it based on potential changes, such as winning new deals or losing a major client. For example, use prior sales data to predict future sales and then use Google Docs to create a scatter plot with a trend line that shows the overall direction of the data.
Managing Risk
Manipulating data enables you to examine how much you can invest or afford to lose under certain simulated circumstances. For example, use a technique known as Monte Carlo simulation. The name refers chance events that occur in casinos. By supplying numbers representing uncertain inputs (such as revenue and prices), you can track potential output and results. Using spreadsheet tools, for example, you can simulate cash flow, estimate return rates and risk of new product introductions, determine the risk of exchange rate fluctuations or determine investment strategies.
Medical: The medical field uses simulations to train practitioners in a multitude of skills and environments. While many of the simulations focus on medical procedures, simulations also afford students the opportunity to develop communication and teamwork skills. Research studies show the use of simulations increases improvement in multiple medical areas from surgery to procedural skills(Okuda, 2009).
Military:
Simulations comprise a large portion of the preparation of the United States warrior. From basic training to active duty, the soldier is immersed in both simulated and reality environments.
flight gear
The U.S. military designs simulations to be relevant as well as realistic and thus an integral part of the training process. Military simulations seek to bridge the gap between the classroom instruction and the actual experience; targeting the development of (1) muscle memory, (2) a course of action based on contingencies and
flight simulation
(3) a trained reaction. Simulations are used as a means to provide both preparation and correction (J. Tester, personal communication,

Simulated environments allow you to test out new ideas before you make a complex business decision. This analysis technique lets you manipulate different parameters, such as revenue and costs, to discover opportunities for improvement in your current operations. Simulation models can give you a graphical display of information that can be edited and animated, showing you what might happen if you take certain actions. Applying these results to your business helps you manage risk and make better choices.
