Gerard Pons-Moll, Javier Romero, Naureen Mahmood, and Michael J. Black To look human, digital full-body avatars need to have soft tissue deformations like those of real people. Current methods for physics simulation of soft tissue lack realism, are computationally expensive, … Continue reading →

Prashant Goswami, André Eliasson, Pontus Franzén This paper presents CUDA-based parallelization of implicit incompressible SPH (IISPH) on the GPU. Along with the detailed exposition of our implementation, we analyze various components involved for their costs. We show that our CUDA … Continue reading →

Nuttapong Chentanez, Matthias Mueller, Miles Macklin, Tae-Yong Kim We present the first mesh-based surface tracker that runs entirely on the GPU. The surface tracker is both completely grid-free and fast which makes it suitable for the use in a large, … Continue reading →

Markus Huber, Stefan Reinhardt, Daniel Weiskopf, and Bernhard Eberhardt We evaluate surface tension models in particle-based fluid simulation systems using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with a benchmark test. Our benchmark consists of three experiments and a set of analysis methods … Continue reading →

Prashant Sachdeva, Shinjiro Sueda, Susanne Bradley, Mikhail Fain, Dinesh K. Pai The tendons of the hand and other biomechanical systems form a complex network of sheaths, pulleys, and branches. By modeling these anatomical structures, we obtain realistic simulations of coordination and dynamics … Continue reading →

Pierre-Luc Manteaux, Wei-Lun Sun, Francois Faure, Marie-Paule Cani, James F. O’Brien In this paper we propose a method for the interactive detailed cutting of deformable thin sheets. Our method builds on the ability of frame-based simulation to solve for dynamics using … Continue reading →

Zherong Pan, Hujun Bao, Jin Huang In this paper, we propose a full featured and efficient subspace simulation method in the rotation-strain (RS) space for elastic objects. Sharply different from previous methods using the rotation-strain space, except for the ability … Continue reading →

Ľubor Ladický, SoHyeon Jeong, Barbara Solenthaler, Marc Pollefeys, and Markus Gross Traditional fluid simulations require large computational resources even for an average sized scene with the main bottleneck being a very small time step size, required to guarantee the stability … Continue reading →

Rasmus Tamstorf, Toby Jones, Stephen F. McCormick Existing multigrid methods for cloth simulation are based on geometric multigrid. While good results have been reported, geometric methods are problematic for unstructured grids, widely varying material properties, and varying anisotropies, and they … Continue reading →

Nathan Mitchell, Mridul Aanjaneya, Rajsekhar Setaluri, Eftychios Sifakis Level sets have been established as highly versatile implicit surface representations, with widespread use in graphics applications including modeling and dynamic simulation. Nevertheless, level sets are often presumed to be limited, compared … Continue reading →
