Rasmus Gabelgaard Nielsen, Kenny Erleben We present a fast, robust method for continuous collision detection (CCD) directly between pairs of complex signed distance fields (SDFs). By casting CCD as an alternating spatio-temporal optimization and driving a small set of smartly … Continue reading →

Juan Sebastian Montes Maestre, Ladislav Kavan, Edmond Boyer, Ryan Goldade, Stelian Coros, Bernhard Thomaszewski Facial skin dynamics are inherently challenging to simulate due to a combination of geometric, material, and anatomical complexities. Human skin is a nonlinear layered material with … Continue reading →

Xuan Tang, Kemeng Huang, Gilbert Bernstein, Minchen Li, Tzumao Li Incremental Potential Contact (IPC) has emerged as a robust and unifying formulation for contact-rich physical simulation by casting elasticity and collision handling as a single energy minimization problem. Achieving high … Continue reading →

Doug L. James, Ethan James We present Mixwell, a family of sharp 2D fluid brushes and GPU-accelerated analytical methods for progressive, resolution-independent physics-based mixing. Derived from idealized potential flow around a cylindrical tine, Mixwell includes a cusped, Kelvinlet-style regularized velocity … Continue reading →

Bastian Abt, David Stotko, Nils Wandel, Reinhard Klein Simulating inviscid, incompressible fluids on non-simply-connected curved surfaces requires careful treatment of the flow’s local and global behavior. While recent theoretical advancements have established the critical dynamics of the harmonic component in … Continue reading →

Yixin Chen, David I.W. Levin, Timothy R. Langlois We present a physics-based fluid control method utilizing localized spacetime windows, extending force-based fluid control to substantially larger simulation scales. In many practical editing scenarios, user-specified objectives affect only a small region … Continue reading →

Hongcheng Song, Ye Fan, Uri M. Ascher, Dinesh K. Pai Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its … Continue reading →

Bernhard Braun, Rene Winchenbach, Jan Bender, Nils Thuerey We present ST-FLIP, a spatiotemporal extension of the Fluid-Implicit Particle (FLIP) method for incompressible free-surface and two-phase liquid simulation. ST-FLIP enables time steps up to an order of magnitude larger than those … Continue reading →

Shixun Huang, Siyuan Chen, Yue Chang, Zhecheng Wang, Peter Yichen Chen Cyclic animation is widely used in computer graphics and interactive content. It supports seamless playback in games, VR, and interactive simulation, where short clips must repeat smoothly over long … Continue reading →

Rupesh Kumar, Sabhya Khurana, Rahul Narain We present a technique for simulating detailed cloth dynamics on coarse meshes at interactive rates, by coupling the base mesh simulation with dynamic wrinkles in a physically consistent manner. Building on the wrinkle parameterization … Continue reading →
