We present a novel approach to fluid simulation, allowing us to take into account the surface energy in a precise manner. This new approach combines a novel, topology-adaptive approach to deformable interface tracking, ...

In the field of garment simulation the resolution of the simulation mesh has a direct impact on visual quality. Unfortunately, an increase in mesh resolution introduces a much higher computational cost and potentially ...

In this article we present a GPU accelerated, hybrid, narrow phase collision detection algorithm for simulation purposes. The algorithm is based on hierarchical bounding volume tree structures of oriented bounding boxes ...

We present in this paper a simulation framework that allows a precise and efficient handling of collisions and contacts between deformable moving bodies and their environment. The moving bodies are sampled as meshes whose ...

This paper presents a framework to design mechanical models relying on a topological basis. Whereas naive topological models such as adjacency graphs provide low topological control, the use of efficient topological models ...

We present a novel, yet simple, method for stabilization of normal forces. A normal stabilization term, carefully designed from hypotheses about interactive usability, is added to the contact force problem. Further, we ...

Needle insertion is a common practice used in many different medical procedures. Therefore, simulation of needle insertion is of great importance for multiple purposes such as training, planning and robotic assisted ...

In this paper, we present a set of methods to improve numerical solvers, as used in real-time non-linear deformable models based on implicit integration schemes. The proposed approach is particularly beneficial to simulate ...

We present a velocity-based model for realistic collision avoidance among virtual characters. Our approach is elaborated from existing experimental data and is based on the simple hypothesis that an individual tries to ...

We present a comprehensive 3D sketch recognition framework for interaction within Virtual Environments that allows to trigger commands by drawing symbols, which are recognized by a multi-level analysis. It proceeds in three ...
