Camille Schreck, Damien Rohmer, Stefanie Hahmann, Marie-Paule Cani, Shuo Jin, Charlie Wang, Jean-Francois Bloch We present the first method to animate sheets of paper at interactive rates, while automatically generating a plausible set of sharp features when the sheet is … Continue reading →

Albert Chern, Felix Knoppel, Ulrich Pinkall, Peter Schröder, Steffen Weissmann We describe a new approach for the purely Eulerian simulation of incompressible fluids. In it, the fluid state is represented by a ℂ²-valued wave function evolving under the Schrödinger equation … Continue reading →

Morten Bojsen-Hansen, Chris Wojtan When aiming to seamlessly integrate a fluid simulation into a larger scenario (like an open ocean), careful attention must be paid to boundary conditions. In particular, one must implement special “non-reflecting” boundary conditions, which dissipate out-going … Continue reading →

Ben Jones, Nils Thuerey, Tamar Shinar, Adam W. Bargteil Physics-based animation is often used to animate scenes containing destruction of near-rigid, man-made materials. For these applications, the most important visual features are plastic deformation and fracture. Methods based on continuum … Continue reading →

David Hahn, Chris Wojtan We present a boundary element based method for fast simulation of brittle fracture. By introducing simplifying assumptions that allow us to quickly estimate stress intensities and opening displacements during crack propagation, we build a fracture algorithm … Continue reading →

Gilles Daviet, Florence Bertails-Descoubes We present a new continuum-based method for the realistic simulation of large-scale free-flowing granular materials. We derive a compact model for the rheology of the material, which accounts for the exact nonsmooth Drucker-Prager yield criterion combined … Continue reading →

Hongyi Xu, Jernej Barbic We enrich character animations with secondary soft-tissue Finite Element Method (FEM) dynamics computed under arbitrary rigged or skeletal motion. Our method optionally incorporates pose-space deformation (PSD). It runs at milliseconds per frame for complex characters, and … Continue reading →

Aric Bartle, Alla Sheffer, Vladimir G. Kim, Danny Kaufman, Nicholas Vining, Floraine Berthouzoz Designers frequently reuse existing designs as a starting point for creating new garments. In order to apply garment modifications, which the designer envisions in 3D, existing tools require meticulous manual … Continue reading →

Menglei Chai, Changxi Zheng and Kun Zhou Reduced hair models have proven successful for interactively simulating a full head of hair strands, building upon a fundamental assumption that only a small set of guide hairs are needed for explicit simulation, … Continue reading →

Yunfei Bai, Danny M. Kaufman, C.Karen Liu, Jovan Popović Animation artists enjoy the benefits of simulation but do not want to be held back by its constraints. Artist-directed dynamics seeks to resolve this need with a unified method that combines … Continue reading →
