In this paper, we presents visual effect(water, fire, smoke) simulation and interaction system for TV virtual studio. TV virtual studio seamlessly synthesizes CG background and a live performer standing on a TV green studio. Previous virtual studios focus on the registration of CG background and a performer in real world. In contrast to the previous systems, we can afford to make new types of TV scenes more easily by simulating interactive visual effects according to a performer. This requires the extraction of the performer motion to be transformed 3D vector field and simulate fluids by applying the vector field to Navier Stokes equation. To add realism to water VFX simulation and interaction, we also simulate the dynamic behavior of splashing fluids on the water surface. To provide real-time recording of TV programs, real-time VFX simulation and interaction is presented through a GPU programming. Experimental results show this system can be used practically for realizing water, fire, smoke VFX simulation and the dynamic behavior simulation of fish flocks inside ocean.

The explosion effect of computer graphics Visual Effects(VFX) used in films and animations is an important element that determines the completeness of the film, and its usage is getting extended. The realistic explosion effect of VFX should be made according to observations and analysis of various factors of actual explosion in real world. This experimental research would suggest the efficient production guideline for the technical characteristics of underwater explosion of VFX. For this research process, first, the comparison of actual explosion and VFX explosion effect, classification of actual explosion, and characteristics of underwater explosion effect will be addressed. Second, based on the literature reviews, the four steps of experimental production analysis tool will be derived. Third, the experimental research will be processed in along with technical factors four steps of the underwater explosion effect, (1)realistic creation and emission of fluid, (2)fluid expansion control by water pressure, (3)bubble effect, and (4)motion of bubble & dissipation of fluid. The effective method of fluid simulation production will be verified through experimental studies based on the characteristics of the actual explosion process. This experimental study suggested the VFX production technique is expected to be used as the basic data for related research field.

Fluid Implicit Particle (FLIP) method is used in Visual Effect(VFX) industries frequently because FLIP based simulation show high performance with good visual quality. However in large-scale fluid simulations, the efficiency of FLIP method is low because it requires many particles to represent large volume of water. In this papers, we propose a novel hybrid method of simulating fluids to supplement this drawback. To improve the performance of the FLIP method by reducing the number of particles, particles are deployed inside thin layers of the inner surface of water volume only. The coupling between less-disspative solutions of FLIP method and viscosity solution of level set method is achieved by introducing a new surface reconstruction method motivated by surface reconstruction method[1] and moving least squares(MLS) method[2]. Our hybrid method can generate high quality of water simulations efficiently with various multiscale features.

최근 영화와 애니메이션에서 기포가 수중에서 발생하는 장면이 많아지고 있다. 컴퓨터 그래픽 시각 효과를 사용하여 제작된 수중 기포 효과의 사실적인 수중 장면은 전반적인 효과에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소가 된다. 물속의 환경과 융합된 기포의 특성을 분석하고 Maya를 응용한 실험과정을 통해 실감나는 기포 효과를 구현하는 것을 목표로 한다. 기술 개발과 VFX 영화의 향상으로 인해 수중 장면과 같이 직접 촬영으로 얻을 수 없는 장면을 시각효과를 통해 사실적으로 제작할 수 있다. 디지털 시각효과를 이용한 VFX 영화의 리얼리티와 생동감과 박진감 넘치는 모습을 보여 준다. 수중 환경의 사실성을 재현하기 위해 기포 효과의 사실성에 대한 요구가 높다. 기포가 있는 수중 환경은 다양한 역학 조건의 영향을 받으므로 분석과 제작을 통해 접근하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구는 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 통해 수중 기포의 사실성 증대에 대한 시뮬레이션 과정을 분석한다.

In this paper, we describe a case study of the film 'Sector 7' which was produced by technologies applied fluid simulation. For the CG scenes in the movie which include highly detailed fluid motions, we used smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) technique to express subtle movements of seawater from a crashed huge tank, and used hybrid simulation method of particles and levelsets to describe bursting water from a submarine's broken canopy. We also used detonation shock dynamics(DSD) technique for detailed flame simulations to produce a burning monster, the film"s main character. At this point, the divergence-free vortex particle method was applied to conserve the incompressible property of fluids. In addition, we used an upsampling method to achieve more efficient video production. Consequently, we could produce the high-quality visual effects by using the domestic technologies.
