Tassilo Kugelstadt, Dan Koschier, Jan Bender In this paper we present a novel operator splitting approach for corotated FEM simulations. The deformation energy of the corotated linear material model consists of two additive terms. The first term models stretching in the individual spatial directions and the second term describes resistance to volume changes. By formulating […]

Xiaowei He, Huamin Wang, Enhua Wu Unified simulation of versatile elastoplastic materials and different dimensions offers many advantages in animation production, contact handling, and hardware acceleration. The unstructured particle representation is particularly suitable for this task, thanks to its simplicity. However, previous meshless techniques either need too much computational cost for addressing stability issues, or […]

Christopher Brandt, Elmar Eisemann, Klaus Hildebrandt We present a method for the real-time simulation of deformable objects that combines the robustness, generality, and high performance of Projective Dynamics with the efficiency and scalability offered by model reduction techniques. The method decouples the cost for time integration from the mesh resolution and can simulate large meshes […]

Yijing Li, Jernej Barbič Self-intersecting, or nearly self-intersecting, meshes are commonly found in 2D and 3D computer graphics practice. Self-intersections occur, for example, in the process of artist manual work, as a by-product of procedural methods for mesh generation, or due to modeling errors introduced by scanning equipment. If the space bounded by such inputs […]

Dimitar Dinev, Tiantian Liu, Jing Li, Bernhard Thomaszewski, Ladislav Kavan We propose a novel projection scheme that corrects energy fluctuations in simulations of deformable objects, thereby removing unwanted numerical dissipation and numerical “explosions”. The key idea of our method is to first take a step using a conventional integrator, then project the result back to […]

Yue Peng, Bailin Deng, Juyong Zhang, Fanyu Geng, Wenjie Qin, Ligang liu Many computer graphics problems require computing geometric shapes subject to certain constraints. This often results in non-linear and non-convex optimization problems with globally coupled variables, which pose great challenge for interactive applications. Local-global solvers developed in recent years can quickly compute an approximate […]

Martin Komaritzan, Mario Botsch We present a novel approach for physics-based character skinning. While maintaining real-time performance it overcomes the well-known artifacts of commonly used geometric skinning approaches, it enables dynamic effects, and it resolves local self-collisions. Our method is based on a two-layer model consisting of rigid bones and an elastic soft tissue layer. […]
