How Pixar really does that. By accident found this. Cool! Well, I was always thinking about this. How Pixar really does that. By accident found this. Cool!

Yes, I remember that this was mentioned... ODE. Wow, man, that blows me away that this is open-source! So ... basically, in more detail as far as I remember the presentation, Pixar had a plugin like NED that used another algorythm to include ODE's data in Maya. Due to the massive amount of data tough, this plugin performed very slowly and data was not processed in a efficient manner. That's why one of the effects department people came up with the solution of NED, and as far as I remember, they used a standalone-approach so that the plugin would not slow down the calculations of Maya respectively ODE. Thanks for the input, I'll edit that in the article! Wow, that’s amazing! Yes, I remember that this was mentioned… ODE. Wow, man, that blows me away that this is open-source!
