Rajaditya Mukherjee, Longhua Wu, Huamin Wang We present a novel system for interactive elastic shape design in both forward and inverse fashions. Using this system, the user can choose to edit the rest shape or the quasistatic shape of an elastic solid, and obtain the other shape that matches under the quasistatic equilibrium condition at […]

Dan Casas, Miguel Otaduy We present a novel method to enrich existing vertex-based human body models by adding soft-tissue dynamics. Our model learns to predict per-vertex 3D offsets, referred to as dynamic blendshapes, that reproduce nonlinear mesh deformation effects as a function of pose information. This enables the synthesis of realistic 3D mesh animations, including […]

Andreas Peer, Christoph Gissler, Stefan Band, Matthias Teschner We propose a novel SPH formulation for deformable solids. Key aspects of our method are implicit elastic forces and an adapted SPH formulation for the deformation gradient that—in contrast to previous work—allows a rotation extraction directly from the SPH deformation gradient. The proposed implicit concept is entirely […]

Yu Ju Chen, Uri M. Ascher, Dinesh K. Pai High quality simulations of the dynamics of soft flexible objects can be rather costly, because the assembly of internal forces through an often nonlinear stiffness at each time step is expensive. Many standard implicit integrators introduce significant, time-step dependent artificial damping. Here we propose and demonstrate […]
