Mridul Aanjaneya, Chengguizi Han, Ryan Goldade, Christopher Batty We present an efficient geometric Multigrid solver for simulating viscous liquids based on the variational approach of [Batty and Bridson 2008]. Although the governing equations for viscosity are elliptic, the strong coupling … Continue reading →

Maximilian Werhahn, You Xie, Mengyu Chu, Nils Thuerey We propose a novel method to up-sample volumetric functions with generative neural networks using several orthogonal passes. Our method decomposes generative problems on Cartesian field functions into multiple smaller sub-problems that can … Continue reading →

Bohan Wang, George Matcuk, Jernej Barbič We demonstrate how to acquire complete human hand bone anatomy (meshes) in multiple poses using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Such acquisition was previously difficult because MRI scans must be long for high-precision results (over … Continue reading →

Marc Alexa We introduce the notion of harmonic triangulations: a harmonic triangulation simultaneously minimizes the Dirichlet energy of all piecewise linear functions. By a famous result of Rippa, Delaunay triangulations are the harmonic triangulations of planar point sets. We prove … Continue reading →

Thomas Buffet, Damien Rohmer, Loïc Barthe, Laurence Boissieux, Marie-Paule Cani We propose a robust method for untangling an arbitrary number of cloth layers, possibly exhibiting deep interpenetrations, to a collision-free state, ready for animation. Our method relies on an intermediate, … Continue reading →

Teseo Schneider, Jérémie Dumas, Xifeng Gao, Mario Botsch, Daniele Panozzo, Denis Zorin We introduce an integrated meshing and finite element method pipeline enabling solution of partial differential equations in the volume enclosed by a boundary representation. We construct a hybrid … Continue reading →

Bowen Yang, William Corse, Jiecong Lu, Joshuah Wolper, Chenfanfu Jiang We present a novel approach for animating incompressible fluids with Eulerian advection-projection solvers on the surface of a sphere by extending the recent work by Hill and Henderson [2016] with … Continue reading →

Mickeal Verschoor, Andrei C. Jalba Simulating (elastically) deformable models that can collide with each other and with the environment remains a challenging task. The resulting contact problems can be elegantly approached using Lagrange multipliers to represent the unknown magnitude of … Continue reading →

Byungsoo Kim, Vinicius C. Azevedo, Nils Thuerey, Theodore Kim, Markus Gross, Barbara Solenthaler This paper presents a novel generative model to synthesize fluid simulations from a set of reduced parameters. A convolutional neural network is trained on a collection of … Continue reading →
