Interactive Material Design Using Model Reduction

Hongyi Xu, Yijing Li, Yong Chen, Jernej Barbic We demonstrate an interactive method to create heterogeneous continuous deformable materials on complex three-dimensional meshes. The user specifies displacements and internal elastic forces at a chosen set of mesh vertices. Our system then rapidly solves … Continue reading

Strain Limiting for Clustered Shape Matching

Adam W. Bargteil, Ben Jones In this paper, we advocate explicit symplectic Euler integration and strain limiting in a shape matching simulation framework. The resulting approach resembles not only previous work on shape matching and strain limiting, but also the recently … Continue reading

Coupling Hair with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Fluids

Wei-Chin Lin We present a two-way coupling technique for simulating the complex interaction between hair and fluids. In our approach, the motion of hair and fluids is simulated by evaluating the hydrodynamic forces among them based on boundary handling techniques … Continue reading

Parallel Particles (P^2): A Parallel Position Based Approach for Fast and Stable Simulation of Granular Materials

Daniel Holz Granular materials exhibit a large number of diverse physical phenomena which makes their numerical simulation challenging. When set in motion they flow almost like a fluid, while they can present high shear strength when at rest. Those macroscopic … Continue reading

Stylized Keyframe Animation of Fluid Simulations

Mark Browning, Connelly Barnes, Samantha Ritter, Adam Finkelstein We present a method that combines hand-drawn artwork with fluid simulations to produce animated fluids in the visual style of the artwork. Given a fluid simulation and a set of keyframes rendered by … Continue reading
