Cars

A short animated film from Carbon Visuals is being used to engage managers around the world about the fundamentals of sustainability, how sustainability is relevant to their role and its importance to business success.

Created for the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), the film shows the current and expected resource use and parking space of all the world’s cars, as well as the CO₂ emissions of cars today.

Particle simulation was used heavily in this animation – including the exploding car, which used physical objects as particles that changed into their component materials; and carbon volume spheres which were accurately physically simulated.
