Timothy R. Langlois and Doug L. James In this paper, we introduce Inverse-Foley Animation, a technique for optimizing rigid-body animations so that contact events are synchronized with input sound events. A precomputed database of randomly sampled rigid-body contact events is used … Continue reading →

Siwang Li, Jin Huang, Fernando de Goes, Xiaogang Jin, Hujun Bao, and Mathieu Desbrun We present a novel method for elastic animation editing with spacetime constraints. In a sharp departure from previous approaches, we not only optimize control forces added … Continue reading →

Here they are thus far: Multimaterial Mesh-Based Surface Tracking Blending Liquids Adaptive Tearing and Cracking of Thin Sheets Codimensional Surface Tension Flow on Simplicial Complexes Defending Continuous Collision Detection Against Errors Physics-Inspired Adaptive Fracture Refinement Detailed Water with Coarse Grids: Combining … Continue reading →

Fang Da, Christopher Batty, Eitan Grinspun We present a triangle mesh-based technique for tracking the evolution of three-dimensional multimaterial interfaces undergoing complex deformations. It is the first non-manifold triangle mesh tracking method to simultaneously maintain intersection-free meshes and support the … Continue reading →

Karthik Raveendran, Chris Wojtan, Nils Thuerey, Greg Turk We present a method for smoothly blending between existing liquid animations. We introduce a semi-automatic method for matching two existing liquid animations, which we use to create new fluid motion that plausibly … Continue reading →

Tobias Pfaff, Rahul Narain, Juan Miguel de Joya, and James F. O’Brien This paper presents a method for adaptive fracture propagation in thin sheets. A high-quality triangle mesh is dynamically restructured to adaptively maintain detail wherever it is required by the simulation. These … Continue reading →

Bo Zhu, Ed Quigley, Matthew Cong, Justin Solomon, and Ron Fedkiw Many visually interesting natural phenomena are characterized by thin liquid sheets, long filaments, and droplets. We present a new Lagrangian-based numerical method to simulate these codimensional surface tension driven phenomena using non-manifold … Continue reading →

Yun Teng, Miguel Otaduy, Theodore Kim We present an efficient new subspace method for simulating the self-contact of articulated deformable bodies, such as characters. Self-contact is highly structured in this setting, as the limited space of possible articulations produces a predictable set of … Continue reading →

Essex Edwards, Robert Bridson We present a new adaptive fluid simulation method that captures a high resolution surface with precise dynamics, without an inefficient fine discretization of the entire fluid volume. Prior adap- tive methods using octrees or unstructured meshes … Continue reading →

Christian Schulz, Christoph von Tycowicz, Hans-Peter Seidel, Klaus Hildebrandt We propose a scheme for animating deformable objects based on spacetime optimization. The main feature is that it robustly and quickly (within a few seconds) generates interesting motion from a sparse … Continue reading →
