"SO anyway. Elastigirl was so smooth and elegant in her moves. It was amazing. Poser wouldn't come close at all to what I saw tonight." You'd have to be insane to even attempt it, and the end result would... well, it would suck quite frankly. I saw it again too, and I'm convinced they used some kind of elastics/fluid dynamics... be it a proprietary script or one you can readily get (like RealFlow). As I elluded to above, if the Reactor module in 3dsMax is open to scripting, then the powerful "rope" simulator might be a good way to reproduce that as well... but I think you'd have much more control over the path of the deformations (stretching) with a fluid simulator. Also, that fantastic water (some of the best water sims I've ever seen) can also be reproduced fairly accurately in a good fluid dynamics simulator (particles). Drips, splashes, etc. can be done to a highly realistic level. Anyway, it's a brilliant movie!! Just the fact that it has us discussing how it was done is a testament to it's greatness, considering all we've seen accomplished in the 3D world already.
