Art-Directed Muscle Simulation for High-End Facial Animation

Matthew Cong, Kiran S. Bhat, Ronald Fedkiw We propose a new framework for the simulation of facial muscle and flesh that so significantly improves the technique that it allows for immediate mainstream use of anatomically and biomechanically accurate muscle models … Continue reading

Two-way coupling of fluids to reduced deformable bodies

Wenlong Lu, Ning Jin, Ronald Fedkiw We propose a fully monolithic two-way coupling framework that couples incompressible fluids to reduced deformable bodies. Notably, the resulting linear system matrix is both symmetric and positive-definite. Our method allows for the simulation of … Continue reading

Accurate Contact Modeling for Multi-rate Single-point Haptic Rendering of Static and Deformable Environments

Thomas Knott, Torsten Kuhlen Common approaches for the haptic rendering of complex scenarios employ multi-rate simulation schemes. Here, the collision queries or the simulation of a complex deformable object are often performed asynchronously on a lower frequency, while some kind of … Continue reading
