This is more curiosity than feature request because the stuff I'm linking comes from years ago on this forum... I'm not sure I can dig up the post again, my history is full of similar sounding things.
This is about a fluid animation system from a small indie developer - Wolfire Games. It looks really kinda awesome, and I know that animation studies/work is probably very far past this stuff but I thought I'd link it because it's neat, plus I would love to see animation like this in OpenMW!

Looks like your link is broken (it's for a new post, not the presentation).
