Contents

Products

  • RealFlow — a dynamics and fluid simulator for film production. RealFlow has been used in the production of films such as: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King;
  • Maxwell Render — a physically correct light simulator and render engine;
  • XFlow — an engineering software for Computational fluid dynamics;
  • CaronteFX — an integrated physically-based animation editor extension tool for the Unity game engine.

    • Research and Development

    Next Limit has actively participated in various research projects throughout Europe as well as Spain. It is currently the leader of the European project, SAFECITI (Safe Citizen), which aims to create a simulation system for analysts that would predict the behavior of large crowds in urban environments in moments of panic, violence, or catastrophes. The system is based on serious game technology and is designed as a training platform. Other European projects that Next Limit has actively participated in are: PRISM, Skycoat and COELUX. COELUX is responsible for the production of a window with an optics system based on nanotechnology that can reproduce natural light and the appearance of solar and sky light. This technology is implemented in closed spaces that lack an exterior facing window.

    In Spain, Next Limit has participated in biotechnology research to simulate the heart as a complex fluid structural system.

    Awards

    This was the second Technical Merit Oscar awarded to a Spanish person. The previous Oscar awarded to a Spanish person was Juan de la Cierva y Hoces in 1969 for his creation of the optic stabilizer Dynalens, an apparatus used to eliminate camera vibrations.
