"Sound Sculpture"

In this project Eyeball, NYC reached out to Fusion to create a few different types of unique fluid "explosions", which we did with a variety of techniques to provide Eyeball Studios various elements to bring together. In the first technique, we used a spherical repulsor force combined with directional emission within an initial sphere of fluid to give the explosion some directionality (see explosion_03a_side.mov). In the second type, to get a set of long twisting tendrils, we used a script to grab small parcels of fluid in an initial sphere and push them out radically (see explosion_08a_side.mov). In the third type we used a variation of our "plunging" method, to get a behavior similar to air bubbles around objects plunged into water. For each type of explosion, we applied adapted versions of our Smorganic algorithm to control how much and when the fluid broke up, giving a nice organic variability to the breakup and producing a balance of structure (strings, tendrils and networks) and droplets in the final results of the explosions. Eyeball did a beautiful job of the bringing it all together, and created some fabulously realistic shading and lighting to give the fluid a silky smooth feel.
