Neural Garment Dynamics via Manifold-Aware Transformers

Peizhuo Li, Tuanfeng Y. Wang, Timur Levent Kesdogan, Duygu Ceylan, Olga Sorkine-Hornung Data driven and learning based solutions for modeling dynamic garments have significantly advanced, especially in the context of digital humans. However, existing approaches often focus on modeling garments with respect to a fixed parametric human body model and are limited to garment geometries […]

Monte Carlo Vortical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for Simulating Turbulent Flows

Xingyu Ye, Xiaokun Wang, Yanrui Xu, Jirí Kosinka, Alexandru C. Telea, Lihua You, Jian Jun Zhang, Jian Chang For vortex particle methods relying on SPH-based simulations, the direct approach of iterating all fluid particles to capture velocity from vorticity can lead to a significant computational overhead during the Biot-Savart summation process. To address this challenge, […]

The Impulse Particle-In-Cell Method

Sergio Sancho, Jingwei Tang, Christopher Batty, Vinicius Azevedo An ongoing challenge in fluid animation is the faithful preservation of vortical details, which impacts the visual depiction of flows. We propose the Impulse Particle-In-Cell (IPIC) method, a novel extension of the popular Affine Particle-In-Cell (APIC) method that makes use of the impulse gauge formulation of the […]

Neural Collision Fields for Triangle Primitives

Ryan S. Zesch, Vismay Modi, Shinjiro Sueda, David I.W. Levin We present neural collision fields as an alternative to contact point sampling in physics simulations. Our approach is built on top of a novel smoothed integral formulation for the contact surface patches between two triangle meshes. By reformulating collisions as an integral, we avoid issues […]
