I did early work in mass-spring dynamics while at MIT (1985). My system was developed on a Symbolics Lisp Machine:

I did simple fabric simulations, as well as 3d soft object dynamics.

Followup work in the early 90's on SGI workstations:

All of this cloth and hair development culminated during my tenure as R&D lead on the feature film "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". The commercial Syflex system was an offshoot of that development.

Fun Trivia: Feynman's son worked on cloth simulation for his MIT MSc Thesis back in '87! https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/14924

I believe Einstein's son worked on "Sediment Transport by Rivers". [0] It must be hard for one to have a high-achieving--or worse, world famous--parent or sibling. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Albert_Einstein

Imagine being in the Bach or Bernoulli where there was more than one…or being the third Manning brother (although he gets TV commercial time now)

I don’t know, I think the cloth thesis looks like a good read, and Hans Einstein seemed to have had a very successful career.

I may be wrong, but I can’t imagine that any ridiculously gifted parent would care the slightest if their children fit the boots they leave behind. The hopes I have for my son is that he is happy, healthy, moral and enthusiastic. If he develops an interest in physics, electronics, programming, or any other thing we can nerd out together about, that’d be great - but if he develops a deep interest in whatever, that’s cool too. It would admittedly be very difficult for me to communicate with him if he doesn’t develop enthusiasm for anything.

At the moment he is leaning towards geology, but that’s because he’s 2 and likes collecting stones.

TSW’s hair and cloth vfx crushed my brain in 2001, and those parts specifically still look pretty good to me today. Kudos!

Thanks. I wrote the hair generation software. It was a Maya plugin. For a very early (beta) version of Maya initially in 1997.
