The unstructured particle representation is particularly suitable for this task, thanks to its simplicity. … Continue reading →

Carlota Soler, Tobias Martin, Olga Sorkine-Hornung We present a novel method to simulate Cosserat rods with Projective Dynamics (PD). The proposed method is both numerically robust and accurate with respect to the underlying physics, making it suitable for a variety … Continue reading →

Yu Fang, Yuanming Hu, Shi-Min Hu, Chenfanfu Jiang Spatially and temporally adaptive algorithms can substantially improve the computational efficiency of many numerical schemes in computational mechanics and physics-based animation. Recently, a crucial need for temporal adaptivity in the Material Point Method … Continue reading →

Junbang Liang, Ming C. Lin Cloth simulations, widely used in computer animation and apparel design, can be computationally expensive for real-time applications. Some parallelization techniques have been proposed for visual simulation of cloth using CPU or GPU clusters and often … Continue reading →

Marie-Lena Eckert, Wolfgang Heidrich, Nils Thuerey We present a novel method to reconstruct a fluid’s 3D density and motion based on just a single sequence of images. This is rendered possible by using powerful physical priors for this strongly under-determined … Continue reading →

Mridul Aanjaneya We present an efficient solver for monolithic two-way coupled simulation of rigid bodies with incompressible fluids that is robust to poor conditioning of the coupled system in the presence of large density ratios between the solid and the … Continue reading →

Timothy Jeruzalski, John Kanji, Alec Jacobson, David I.W. Levin Methods to compress simulation data are invaluable as they facilitate efficient transmission along the visual effects pipeline, fast and efficient replay of simulations for visualization and enable storage of scientific data. … Continue reading →

Xiaokai Li, Sheldon Andrews, Ben Jones, Adam Bargteil Compelling animation of fracture is a vital challenge for computer graphics. Methods based on continuum mechanics are physically accurate, but computationally expensive since they require computing elastic deformation. In many applications, this … Continue reading →
