    Hey great site,

    You can find Ladislav Kavlan’s “Physic-Based Animation” course on youtube, and it is quite interesting.

    Cheers

    A really good course regarding physically based animation 🙂

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the suggestion! However, usually I don’t include university courses, but just SIGGRAPH/Eurographics courses (or rather the associated notes).

    A great resource. Thanks. I wanted to let you know of our new book, Donald House and John Keyser: Foundations of Physically Based Modeling and Animation, CRC Press. It is organized as an introduction to the field.

    Hi Christopher thank you for the wonderful web site. Have you found the new updated Pixar physical simulation course? I think it is a good course to add to this list: http://www.tkim.graphics/DYNAMIC_DEFORMABLES/
