The first Spanish company to win a Technical Achievement Award in nearly 40 years, Next Limit Technologies has been a prominent entity in the national and international film industry with its fluid and dynamics simulation software RealFlow™. Major film studios such as Blue Sky Studios, Weta Digital, Walt Disney Feature Animation, and Dreamworks have been using RealFlow™ to simulate fluids in their high-end blockbuster movies including 300, Ice Age 2 (The Meltdown), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Poseidon, National Treasure: Book of Secrets and Primeval.
"We are ecstatic and honored to have been awarded the Technical Achievement Academy Certificate," said Next Limit CEO and Academy Award® winner Victor Gonzalez. "This is our ultimate reward for the endless efforts, dedication and sleepless nights that we have been investing in this application for the past ten years. What started off as a vision, an idea, a small project from a Spanish company, has now grown into an Academy Awarded® and highly innovative application that is being used by the largest, most appreciated and best studios and production companies around the world. We are extremely proud of that," said Victor.
Ignacio Vargas and Angel Tena were equally pleased upon hearing the news from the Academy and decided to celebrate with champagne and -after typical Spanish custom- some slices of delicious Spanish Jamon.
