Bo Zhu, Ed Quigley, Matthew Cong, Justin Solomon, and Ron Fedkiw Many visually interesting natural phenomena are characterized by thin liquid sheets, long filaments, and droplets. We present a new Lagrangian-based numerical method to simulate these codimensional surface tension driven phenomena using non-manifold … Continue reading →

Yun Teng, Miguel Otaduy, Theodore Kim We present an efficient new subspace method for simulating the self-contact of articulated deformable bodies, such as characters. Self-contact is highly structured in this setting, as the limited space of possible articulations produces a predictable set of … Continue reading →

Essex Edwards, Robert Bridson We present a new adaptive fluid simulation method that captures a high resolution surface with precise dynamics, without an inefficient fine discretization of the entire fluid volume. Prior adap- tive methods using octrees or unstructured meshes … Continue reading →

Christian Schulz, Christoph von Tycowicz, Hans-Peter Seidel, Klaus Hildebrandt We propose a scheme for animating deformable objects based on spacetime optimization. The main feature is that it robustly and quickly (within a few seconds) generates interesting motion from a sparse … Continue reading →
