HN comment orderFor anyone interested - since its not immediately clear from the website (though the graphics are stunning) – TaiChi is a cross platform combined physically based animation and physically based rendering toolkit/ library. It wraps a lot of current state of art research algorithms and significantly simplifies doing graphics R&D. It is also a lot of fun to play with.
Hi, I'm the author of Taichi. Thank you so much for your attention on this project. As you may have noticed, Taichi is still a work in progress and far from perfect. Actually, I plan to bring this project to you guys after a stable interface and comprehensive documentation are finished. I didn't plan to ``promote'' it today but for some reason it just gets some attention. I'm so surprised and my website taichi.graphics went down for the first time…
