Monte Carlo Simulation

A Monte Carlo simulation is a randomly evolving simulation. In this video, I explain how this can be useful, with two fun examples of Monte Carlo simulations: The first model shows how pi can be determined with Monte Carlo sampling, and in the second part of the video we will take a look how animations can be rendered with Monte Carlo path tracing.

literally hypnotized by how clean that marble animation was. This channel feels like a massive hidden gem!

[omaramakhtari]

I ended up here randomly, was not disappointed. Your accent is great, material delivery was clear and concise, the animation was solid, and video length was perfect. Keep up the good work, this channel will go far!

I am extremely grateful to live in world where people who are intellectually-gifted are inclined to share their insights to others in an effective, straightforward way.

As an engineer, I love watching videos explaining various math concepts through different ideas, even though I already learned these concepts quite well. You did a fantastic job. I appreciate all works that make science/math/engineering easy to the grand public!

[FranciscoBerkemeier]

This was fantastic. As a mathematician I've always found Monte Carlo simulation to be a tremendously powerful tool, mainly due to its simplicity. To see that you start the video by saying precisely that is truly wonderful :) Keep it up!

You have an amazing knack for presenting complex stuff in a simple manner. Its not just the storyline or the visuals that are great, the audio part is soft-toned and slow enough, easy to follow.

This is great! Very unique. As a Maya user I appreciate the amount of effort it took to make this. This kind of content is gold and people will find you. Usually when I watch new channels I have critiques but everything about this is damn near perfect. Can't wait for more

[markusschoen]

Thank you! Not easy to find "no-fluff", straight forward explanations these days. Right level of depth and still entertaining!

[ideyaa]

I needed to understand the Monte Carlo methode for my AI project in the Uni. Your video is amazing! thanks a lot :) The visuals and animations are great.

[arunkenta]

Channels like these deserve all the subscription for helping students all over the world

[Omar-jnzf]

Absolutely fantastic.
This is what we call go big or go home. This is astonishing as your 3rd video on YouTube. Please keep the good work.

Love how the video sections are switched directly on the minute mark.

3D animator, learning python, was researching the best way to understand Monte Carlo Simulation. Props for an amazing video overall, crisp animation, no nonsense explanation, and the rendering example just solved too many puzzles bundled in years. Liked and subbed. Thank you very much.

[squirrelsaregreat]

I love those visuals! Simple but they contain everything. :)

[LF]

Awesome explanation of Monte Carlo simulations! 
Clear and concise, love it!

The marble animations are fantastic, and you in the video are even better.

[DesaiAmogh]

I was looking for a quick and simple explanation on Monte Carlo Simulation and thanks to your video it made my job soo much easier!! Amazing video :)

[aritraroy]

Only 4k view for such an beautiful explanation? Great job man!!
