Christoph Gissler, Andreas Henne, Stefan Band, Andreas Peer, Matthias Teschner Snow is a complex material. It resists elastic normal and shear deformations, while some deformations are plastic. Snow can deform and break. It can be significantly compressed and gets harder … Continue reading →

Tomas Skrivan, Andreas Soderstrom, John Johansson, Christoph Sprenger, Ken Museth, Chris Wojtan We propose a method to enhance the visual detail of a water surface simula-tion. Our method works as a post-processing step which takes a simulationas input and increases … Continue reading →

Weizhen Huang, Julian Iseringhausen, Tom Kneiphof, Ziyin Qu, Chenfanfu Jiang, Matthias B. Hullin Soap bubbles are widely appreciated for their fragile nature and their colorful appearance. The natural sciences and, in extension, computer graphics, have comprehensively studied the mechanical behavior … Continue reading →

Yixin Hu, Teseo Schneider, Bolun Wang, Denis Zorin, Daniele Panozzo We propose a new tetrahedral meshing method, fTetWild, to convert triangle soups into high-quality tetrahedral meshes. Our method builds on the TetWild algorithm, replacing the rational triangle insertion with a … Continue reading →

Minchen Li, Zachary Ferguson, Teseo Schneider, Timothy Langlois, Denis Zorin, Daniele Panozzo, Chenfanfu Jiang, Danny M. Kaufman Contacts weave through every aspect of our physical world, from daily household chores to acts of nature. Modeling and predictive computation of these … Continue reading →

Marc ten Bosch I present a formulation for Rigid Body Dynamics that is independent of the dimension of the space. I describe the state and equations of motion of rigid bodies using geometric algebra. Using collision detection algorithms extended to … Continue reading →

Mickael Ly, Jean Jouve, Laurence Boissieux, Florence Bertails-Descoubes Projective dynamics was introduced a few years ago as a fast method to yield an approximate yet stable solution to the dynamics of nodal systems subject to stiff internal forces. Previous attempts … Continue reading →

Kazem Cheshmi, Danny M. Kaufman, Shoaib Kamil, Maryam Mehri Dehnavi Quadratic programs (QP), minimizations of quadratic objectives subject to linear inequality and equality constraints, are at the heart of algorithms across scientific domains. Applications include fundamental tasks in geometry processing, … Continue reading →

Ahmed Abdelkader, Chandrajit Bajaj, Mohamed Ebeida, Ahmed Mahmoud, Scott Mitchell, John Owens, Ahmad Rushdi Polyhedral meshes are increasingly becoming an attractive option with particular advantages over traditional meshes for certain applications. What has been missing is a robust polyhedral meshing … Continue reading →

Xinlei Wang*, Yuxing Qiu* (equal contributions), Stuart Slattery, Yu Fang, Minchen Li, Song-Chun Zhu, Yixin Zhu, Min Tang, Dinesh Manocha, Chenfanfu Jiang Harnessing the power of modern multi-GPU architectures, we present a massively parallel simulation system based on the Material … Continue reading →
