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.
