Let Yourself Feel from Vimeo

let yourself feel. from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo.

Please enjoy this beautiful digital art piece by Esteban Diácono. I have been working in visual effects for years. For me, a dynamics simulator always means smoke, fire, dust... I've never expected that we can create this kind of beautiful pictures. Very inspiring!

flight patterns from Charlie McCarthy on Vimeo.

I would never expect flies draw such beautiful patterns. Surprisingly sometimes they draw perfect spiral trails. Is that some kind of fly dance?
