Tuanfeng Y. Wang, Tianjia Shao, Kai Fu, Niloy Mitra Authoring dynamic garment shapes for character animation on body motion is one of the fundamental steps in the CG industry. Established workflows are either time and labor consuming (i.e., manual editing … Continue reading →

David Hahn, Pol Banzet, James M. Bern, Stelian Coros This paper presents a method for optimizing visco-elastic material parameters of a finite element simulation to best approximate the dynamic motion of real-world soft objects. We compute the gradient with respect … Continue reading →

Juyong Zhang, Yue Peng, Wenqing Ouyang, Bailin Deng The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is a popular approach for solving optimization problems that are potentially non-smooth and with hard constraints. It has been applied to various computer graphics applications, … Continue reading →

Jiong Chen, Max Budninskiy, Houman Owhadi, Hujun Bao, Jin Huang, Mathieu Desbrun In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical construction of material-adapted refinable basis functions and associated wavelets to offer efficient coarse-graining of linear elastic objects. While spectral methods rely … Continue reading →

Sehee Min, Jungdam Won, Seunghwan Lee, Jungnam Park, Jehee Lee We present a novel and general framework for the design and control of underwater soft-bodied animals. The whole body of an animal consisting of soft tissues is modeled by tetrahedral … Continue reading →

Christopher Brandt, Leonardo Scandolo, Elmar Eisemann, Klaus Hildebrandt We introduce the Reduced Immersed Method (RIM) for the real-time simu-lation of two-way coupled incompressible fluids and elastic solids and theinteraction of multiple deformables with (self-)collisions. Our framework isbased on a novel … Continue reading →

Marie-Lena Eckert, Kiwon Um, Nils Thuerey In this paper, we present ScalarFlow, a first large-scale data set of reconstructions of real-world smoke plumes. In addition, we propose a framework for accurate physics-based reconstructions from a small number of video streams. … Continue reading →

Byungsoo Kim, Vinicius C. Azevedo, Markus Gross, Barbara Solenthaler Artistically controlling fluids has always been a challenging task. Optimization techniques rely on approximating simulation states towards target velocity or density field configurations, which are often handcrafted by artists to indirectly … Continue reading →

Yun (Raymond) Fei, Christopher Batty, Eitan Grinspun, Changxi Zheng We propose a framework for simulating the complex dynamics of strands interacting with compressible, shear-dependent liquids, such as oil paint, mud, cream, melted chocolate, and pasta sauce. Our framework contains three … Continue reading →

Zangyueyang Xian, Xin Tong, Tiantian Liu We propose a simple yet efficient multigrid scheme to simulate high-resolution deformable objects in their full spaces at interactive frame rates. The point of departure of our method is the Galerkin projection which is … Continue reading →
