Occlusion-free Camera Control for Multiple Targets
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Maintaining the visibility of target objects is a fundamental problem in automatic camera control for 3D graphics applications. Practical real-time camera control algorithms generally only incorporate mechanisms for the ...
The Intersection Contour Minimization Method for Untangling Oriented Deformable Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
The Intersection Contour Minimization (ICM) method [VM06] has been proven to be an effective history-free algorithm for resolving collisions between non-oriented deformable surfaces. In many circumstances, however, surface ...
Smoke Sheets for Graph-Structured Vortex Filaments
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Smoke is one of the core phenomena which fluid simulation techniques in computer graphics have attempted to capture. It is both well understood mathematically and important in lending realism to computer generated effects. ...
Cloning Crowd Motions
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
This paper introduces a method to clone crowd motion data. Our goal is to efficiently animate large crowds from existing examples of motions of groups of characters by applying an enhanced copy and paste technique on them. ...
Finger Walking: Motion Editing with Contact-Based Hand Performance
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
We present a system for generating full-body animations from the performance on a touch-sensitive tabletop of ''finger walking'', where two fingers are used to pantomime leg movements. A user study was conducted to explore ...
Evaluating the Plausibility of Edited Throwing Animations
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Animation budget constraints during the development of a game often call for the use of a limited set of generic motions. Editing operations are thus generally required to animate virtual characters with a sufficient level ...
Learning Motion Controllers with Adaptive Depth Perception
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
We present a novel approach to real-time character animation that allows a character to move autonomously based on vision input. By allowing the character to ''see'' the environment directly using depth perception, we can ...
Real-Time Example-Based Elastic Deformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
We present an example-based elastic deformation method that runs in real time. Example-based elastic deformation was originally presented by Martin et al. [MTGG11], where an artist can intuitively control elastic material ...
Quaternion Space Sparse Decomposition for Motion Compression and Retrieval
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Quaternion has become one of the most widely used representations for rotational transformations in 3D graphics for decades. Due to the sparse nature of human motion in both the spatial domain and the temporal domain, an ...
Misconceptions of PD Control in Animation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
In this paper, we address certain misconceptions that have been perpetuated in the animation practice and research for quite some time related to the proportional-derivative (PD) control of physics-based systems. Because ...
