Mandoline: Robust Cut-Cell Generation for Arbitrary Triangle Meshes A Scalable Galerkin Multigrid Method for Real-time Simulation of Deformable Objects A Multi-Scale Model for Coupling Strands with Shear-Dependent Liquid Video-Guided Real-to-Virtual Parameter Transfer for Viscous Fluids A Thermomechanical Material Point Method … Continue reading →

Baptiste Angles, Daniel Rebain, Miles Macklin, Brian Wyvill, Loic Barthe, JP Lewis, Javier von der Pahlen, Shahram Izadi, Julien Valentin, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi We extend the formulation of position-based rods to include elastic volumetric deformations. We achieve this by … Continue reading →

Xuchen Han, Theodore Gast, Qi Guo, Stephanie Wang, Chenfanfu Jiang, Joseph Teran We present a new hybrid Lagrangian Material Point Method for simulating elastic objects like hair, rubber,and soft tissues that utilizes a Lagrangian mesh for internal force computation and … Continue reading →

Miles Macklin, Kier Storey, Michelle Lu, Pierre Terdiman, Nuttapong Chentanez, Stefan Jeschke, Matthias Müller In this paper we re-examine the idea that implicit integrators with large time steps offer the best stability/performance trade-off for stiff systems. We make the surprising … Continue reading →

Rahul Narain, Jonas Zehnder, Bernhard Thomaszewski Zehnder et al. [2018] recently introduced an advection-reflection method for fluid simulation that dramatically reduces artificial dissipation. We establish a connection between their method and the implicit midpoint time integration scheme, and present a … Continue reading →

Jing Li, Tiantian Liu, Ladislav Kavan We propose a fast and robust solver to simulate continuum-based deformable models with constraints, in particular, rigid-body and joint constraints useful for soft articulated characters. Our method embeds degrees of freedom of both articulated … Continue reading →
