Naiad is a dynamics solver and a simulation framework capable of producing animations of dynamic bodies including:
liquids
large and small bodies of water
breaking waves
splashes and foam
accurate viscous liquids featuring buckling, coiling and bending motion
high degree of creative control while preserving realistic fluid motion
gases
fire
smoke
explosions
full two-way coupling of rigid-bodies to fluids
Naiad is more than just a software package, it is:
a description of a simulation expressed as a graph: the Naiad Graph
an interface specification used to construct a Naiad Graph: the Naiad Interface
a plug-in API allowing users to write custom nodes in the Naiad Graph
a software package which conforms to the Naiad Interface and runs the simulation described by a Naiad Graph
an open-source software package allowing an artist to interactively construct a Naiad Graph using a 3D GUI front-end
a standard file-format for storing the results of a Naiad simulation, called the EMP format.
