Next Limit Technologies was founded in 1998 by two young engineers, Victor Gonzalez and Ignacio Vargas, who were enthusiastic about creating new and innovative tools combining science and visualization for the Computer Graphics market. Thanks to the know-how and experience gained in the preceding years, they knew that the only way to realise that dream successfully was to create a team and a company. At that time, they were only two guys in a small room with a lot of work ahead of them, but they weren't afraid of that and soon their first product "RealFlow" was released. Its success and the encouragement and support of many friends and customers helped Gonzalez and Vargas to continue their voyage. Today, almost 10 years later, they lead a team of the best young professionals in the industry, and Next Limit has gained a worldwide reputation for the quality and power of its software simulation tools. These state-of-the-art simulation packages have been widely acclaimed and awarded. The mission of Next Limit is to provide cutting edge simulation-based technologies for a broad range of fields including Science, Computer Graphics and Engineering. Next Limit's products include "RealFlow" (fluid and physical dynamics simulation for 3D visualization), "Maxwell Render" (physical-based light simulation and render engine) and "XFlow" (a novel fluid simulation toolkit for engineering and scientific applications). All products are available for multiple platforms and connect seamlessly with most major applications in the DCC and CAD markets. RealFlow's film credits include THE LORD OF THE RINGS, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTOR and ROBOTS amongst many others. Next Limit is a fast-moving, dynamic company that is continually innovating and pushing the boundaries of research to reach the "next limit".  Technical Achievement Awards 2007 (Academy Certificate) - For the creation of the RealFlow software application.
