Comments And Testimonials

"The shear amount of data Naiad handles at speeds unmatched by any commercial package combined with very realistic results is well impressive." - Georg Kaltenbrunner, FX Lead, Digital Domain.

"The simulations are very realistic, we tried other approaches, but Naiad worked best for us", says Diego Trazzi, Lead Naiad TD, Weta Digital, Ltd.

"Simulations run quicker than anything I've seen thanks to great multi-threading. It's pretty satisfying to see 8 processors firing at 100% during a sim." - Jesse Erickson, FX TD, Dr. D Studios.

"Every once in a while a product comes along that changes the status quo. Naiad is this product. We've integrated Naiad into our pipeline seamlessly; it's the fastest solver out there." - Hilton Treves, VFX Supervisor, Blackginger.

"Naiad was the only off-the-shelf solution to effectively scale to the problem size of the simulations needed on Avatar." - Sebastian Sylwan, CTO, Weta Digital, Ltd.

"The flexibility of the software, the production-minded attitudes of its developers and their responsiveness to feature requests has meant we're relying on it for an ever increasing portion of our simulation needs." - Martin Preston, Head of R&D, Framestore.

"It's a game changer for a boutique studio like Base, as we can now take on complexities we would have turned down only months ago." - Christopher Bremble, VFX Supervisor, Base FX.

"We are relying on Naiad as our primarily fluids solver, and successfully completed five commercials using just the alpha and beta versions." - Niklas Jacobson, VFX Supervisor, ILP.

"Coupling the Naiad Dynamics Server to our in-house solutions and building tools around it has been a lot of fun!" - Mohsen Mousavi, VFX/DFX supervisor and Head of Technology, Pixomondo Studios, Berlin.

"On top of its flexible architecture and node graph, one of the main reasons we love Naiad is for the stability. It just won't go unstable no matter what we throw at it. It's a beast!" - Yafei Wu, Head of 3D, ILP.

"With the huge success of Naiad it is not unreasonable to point to it now as representing the state of the art in fluid simulation. Naiad is proving very popular for its scalability, believability and realism." - Mike Seymour, fxguide.
