If we go back to 2004, the time of The Incredibles (which notably features the long-haired character of Violet) long hair was basically impossible. The physics calculations would make it wrap against itself and stick in place or violently fly around haphazardly. The Incredibles had to engineer the technology to simulate Violet\u2019s hair mid-production to get it to work as well as it looks in the final release (they also did great work with wet hair too).<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, the best example is 2001\u2019s Shrek, where hair simulation had to be done wholesale for the character of Donkey and for Princess Fiona\u2019s braid. Having the hair be short or restricted in its movement made it a lot easier to simulate, but Shrek was still very pivotal in how <em>fabric<\/em> simulation progressed (a whole other can of worms, to say the least).<\/p>\n<p>Now we have movies like Monsters Inc. and How to Train Your Dragon, where not only is hair varied in style, length, and volume, but it\u2019s all simulated with physics rather than animated in the traditional fashion. Characters like Sully or Stoic the Vast would have been utterly impossible only 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, it\u2019s maybe a little bit of a let-down to find out that hair such as in these gifs isn\u2019t hand-crafted on a frame-by-frame basis, but that doesn\u2019t really make it any less impressive I think.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cool commentary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>chrisdwoo: lyinginbedmon: catoverlord: the-goddamazon: gladi8rs: Adorable.
