Volume Preserving Simulation of Soft Tissue with Skin

Seung Heon Sheen, Egor Larionov, Dinesh K. Pai Simulation of human soft tissues in contact with their environment is essential in many fields, including visual effects and apparel design. Biological tissues are nearly incompressible. However, standard methodsemploy compressible elasticity models … Continue reading

Coupling Friction with Visual Appearance

Sheldon Andrews, Loic Nassif, Kenny Erleben, Paul Kry We present a novel meso-scale model for computing anisotropic and asymmetric friction for contacts in rigid body simulations that is based on surface facet orientations. The main idea behind our approach is … Continue reading

Fast Corotated Elastic SPH Solids with Implicit Zero-Energy Mode Control

Tassilo Kugelstadt, Jan Bender, José Antonio Fernández-Fernández, Stefan Rhys Jeske, Fabian Löschner and Andreas Longva We develop a new operator splitting formulation for the simulation of corotated linearly elastic solids with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Based on the technique of … Continue reading

DiffPD: Differentiable Projective Dynamics

Tao Du, Kui Wu, Pingchuan Ma, Sebastien Wah, Andrew Spielberg, Daniela Rus, Wojciech Matusik We present a novel, fast differentiable simulator for soft-body learning and control applications. Existing differentiable soft-body simulators can be classified into two categories based on their … Continue reading
