Torbjorn Olsson looks at three different techniques for visualizing fields in Naiad, and shows how to get a visual representation of fields in Naiad which would be useful in crafting simulations. In this example, Torbjorn shows how to visualize noise fields in Naiad, however, this can be applied to visualize any type of Naiad field.

Naiad is Exotic Matter a high end fluid dynamics and simulation software. Naiad’s dynamics solver and simulation framework capable of producing animations of dynamic bodies such as liquids (including large and small bodies of water, breaking waves, and splashes and foam) and gases (including fire, smoke and explosions). Naiad also has full two-way coupling of rigid bodies to fluids.

What makes Naiad different is that Naiad empowers small VFX companies (and even freelancers) to produce 3D fluid simulation animations that previously only large facilities with powerful in-house tools could attempt. How is this possible? Because Exotic Matter was founded by the people who used to write those powerful in-house fluid tools.
