I'm happy to report that the Maya Fluids team (Jos Stam, Julia Pakalns, Martin Werner and myself) will be presented technical achievement awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts. This year they are giving many awards in the area of fluid dynamics and there are many worthy recipients. The science and technology awards are based on overall historical use of the technology, as opposed to the movies within a given year.
The awards will be given at a dinner ceremony on Feb 9 (separate from the main Academy Award ceremony). It's fun that even us nerds can get Academy Awards.

Posted by JimBean on 04/03 at 03:57 PMBeen awhile since we’ve had some, patented, thought provoking, Master D, tutorial from you. I’m sure your quite busy with other stuff 
. And, in case there are any other unforeseen reasons as to why you’ve not posted recently, I hope all is well with you and your family.
I’m certain it won’t be too long until we hear what crazy wacky inveshun, you folks have come up with now.
Cheer!
