Description
This piece contains a collection of dream sequences which were created
using 3D particle systems techniques. An explosion, a snowstorm, a
tumultuous head, and a waterfall were each procedurally animated
using particle systems behavior description language. Data-parallel
computation was used to perform physical simulations on thousands
particles simultaneously, one virtual processor for each particle.
