      Ichim, Alexandru-Eugen; Kavan, Ladislav; Nimier-David, Merlin; Pauly, Mark (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Currently, the two main approaches to realistic facial animation are 1) blendshape models and 2) physics-based simulation. Blendshapes are fast and directly controllable, but it is not easy to incorporate features such as ...

      Kapadia, Mubbasir; Frey, Seth; Shoulson, Alexander; Sumner, Robert W.; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Despite the maturity in solutions for animating expressive virtual characters, innovations realizing the creative intent of story writers have yet to make the same strides. The key challenge is to provide an accessible, ...
    • Compressing Fluid Subspaces 

      Jones, Aaron Demby; Sen, Pradeep; Kim, Theodore (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Subspace fluid simulations, also known as reduced-order simulations, can be extremely fast, but also require basis matrices that consume an enormous amount of memory. Motivated by the extreme sparsity of Laplacian ...

      Segall, Aviv; Vantzos, Orestis; Ben-Chen, Mirela (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Hele-Shaw flow describes the slow flow of a viscous liquid between two parallel plates separated by a small gap. In some configurations such a flow generates instabilities known as Saffman-Taylor fingers, which form intricate ...
