Some Tech Behind Inception And Avatar Becomes A Reality On Your iPad And iPhone

Several years ago, it seems like just about everyone saw the film Titanic . This past year, it seems the same was true for Avatar . And this past Summer, it seems as if everyone is seeing Inception . All three films share something in common: their use of Autodesk Maya , a piece of visual effects software. Now that technology has been ported to the iPhone and iPad. Obviously, Autodesk Fluid FX isn't going to be as powerful as Maya running on a hardcore system. But Fluid FX is nonetheless impressive. And it's pretty amazing that these kind of effects can be done on these relatively cheap consumer devices, whereas a just a few years ago systems costing thousands of dollars were required to render this stuff.
