UCLA Adds Physics to Prat-falls

Posted by Hemos on from the cheaper-then-people dept.

BaltoAaron writes "CNN.com is reporting on Petros Faloutsos , a UCLA scientist, that has developed a program that creates animation based almost solely on physics. Faloutsos "believes his animation program will one day allow virtual stunt artists to replace their flesh-and-blood counterparts in performing otherwise deadly feats of derring-do." "It's the Holy Grail of character animation. Everybody wants to do it, but there's not a whole lot of it out there right now.""

    Can you back that up? It's not on the AP, it's not on CNN, it's not on Yahoo News... ? I think you are mistaken.
