Radiance-related talk slides

Folks,

I gave a talk yesterday to a group of science-y artists in Boston about computational science and the making of one of my recent Radiance-made SIGGRAPH images, Open House. In it, I categorize computer simulation techiques and show lots of examples from my own (Radiance-powered) visualizations.

The PDF slides are here (4.6 MB):

And all of the animations are here:

Hi Mark,

Looks like a really cool talk -- wish I could have been there. I could spend all day watching the gravity simulation. Did you do this one? Seems like it would take a small gaggle of supercomputers to pull it off.

Greg,

The gravitational sim was done on one Athlon XP over the course of a day or two. It was only 100k particles, and the error was somewhat high: about 1e-2 per time step. I could probably recreate it on an NVIDIA 8800 GTX in an hour. The Unix-friendly code is here:

and more animations are at:

If someone gave me a supercomputer to play with, you all wouldn't see me for months.
