Synthesizing Sounds from Physically Based Motion (2001)

First synthesized sounds from computer animation

Video

Trivia:

1) Presented on Siggraph.

2) Video demonstrated technique for approximating the sounds that are generated by the motions of solid objects. As the motions of the objects are computed, their surfaces are analyzed to determine how the motion will induce acoustic pressure waves in the surrounding medium. Technique computes the propagation of those waves to the listener and then uses the results to generate sounds corresponding to the behavior of the simulated object.
