Summary

The book contains 16 papers and 1 invited talk presenting the latest research in computer animation and simulation. Special focus is given on the modelling and animation of complex phenomena. This includes the modelling of virtual creatures ' from their body-parts to the control of their behaviour ' and the nomination of natural phenomena such as water, smoke, fire, and vegetation.
