Here are the physics-animation related SIGGRAPH Asia papers announced far, and I’ll be adding more as they come out. See Ke-Sen Huang’s page for the broader list. Adaptive Anisotropic Remeshing for Cloth Simulation Large-Scale Fluid Simulation using Velocity-Vorticity Domain Decomposition … Continue reading →

Fabian Hahn, Sebastian Martin, Bernhard Thomaszewski, Robert Sumner, Stelian Coros, Markus Gross We present a method that brings the benefits of physics-based simulations to traditional animation pipelines. We formulate the equations of motions in the subspace of deformations defined by … Continue reading →

Christian Schumacher, Bernhard Thomaszewski, Stelian Coros, Sebastian Martin, Robert Sumner, Markus Gross We present a new method for efficiently simulating art-directable deformable materials. We use example poses to define subspaces of desirable deformations via linear interpolation. As a central aspect of … Continue reading →

Rahul Narain, Armin Samii, James O’Brien We present a technique for cloth simulation that dynamically refines and coarsens triangle meshes so that they automatically conform to the geometric and dynamic detail of the simulated cloth. Our technique produces anisotropic meshes … Continue reading →

Michael B. Nielsen, Andreas Soderstrom, Robert Bridson Computer animated ocean waves for feature films are typically carefully choreographed to match the vision of the director and to support the telling of the story. The rough shape of these waves is established in … Continue reading →

Jun Wu, Christian Dick, Rudiger Westermann Recent work has demonstrated that composite finite-elements provide an effective means for physically based modeling of deformable bodies. In this paper we present a number of highly effective improvements of previous work to allow … Continue reading →

Miguel Otaduy, Bernd Bickel, Derek Bradley, Huamin Wang In recent years, the field of computer animation has witnessed the invention of multiple simulation methods that exploit pre-recorded data to improve the performance and/or realism of dynamic deformations. Various methods have … Continue reading →

Eftychios Sifakis and Jernej Barbic A practical guide to finite-element-method (FEM) simulation of 3D deformable solids reviews essential offline FEM simulation techniques: complex nonlinear materials, invertible treatment of elasticity, and model-reduction techniques for real-time simulation. Simulations of deformable solids are … Continue reading →

Karthik Raveendran, Nils Thuerey, Chris Wojtan, Greg Turk We present an approach for artist-directed animation of liquids using multiple levels of control over the simulation, ranging from the overall tracking of desired shapes to highly detailed secondary effects such as … Continue reading →

Alfred Barnat, Nancy S. Pollard Smoke is one of the core phenomena which fluid simulation techniques in computer graphics have attempted to capture. It is both well understood mathematically and important in lending realism to computer generated effects. In an … Continue reading →
