Particle systems—a technique for modeling a class of fuzzy objects
Open accessAbstract
This paper introduces particle systems-a method for modeling fuzzy objects such as fire, clouds, and water.Particle systems model an object as a cloud of primitive particles that define its volume.Over a period of time, particles are generated into the system, move and change form within the system, and die from the system.The resulting model is able to represent motion, changes of form, and dynamics that are not possible with classical surface-based representations.The particles can easily be motion blurred, and therefore do not exhibit temporal aliasing or strobing.Stochastic processes are used to generate and control the many particles within a particle system.The application of particle systems to the wall of fire element from the Genesis Demo sequence of the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan [10] is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
