Scientific and Technical Academy Award for Bullet Physics!

by Erwin Coumans
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today announced that 21 scientific and technical achievements represented by 58 individual award recipients will be honored at its annual Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation on Saturday, February 7, at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills.

“To Erwin Coumans for the development of the Bullet physics library, and to Nafees Bin Zafar and Stephen Marshall for the separate development of two large-scale destruction simulation systems based on Bullet.

These pioneering systems demonstrated that large numbers of constrained rigid bodies could be used to animate visually complex, believable destruction effects with minimal simulation time.”

Thanks to all Bullet contributors and users!

It is great to see Bullet get recognition for its use in the film industry. It is a wonderful resource.

Erwin, I officially owe you a beer... or maybe a whole case.
