Modeling Style and Variation in Human Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Style and variation are two vital components of human motion: style differentiates between examples of the same behavior (slow walk vs. fast walk) while variation differentiates between examples of the same style (vigorous ... -
Constraint-Based Simulation of Adhesive Contact
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Dynamics with contact are often formulated as a constrained optimization problem. This approach allows handling in an integrated manner both non-penetration and frictional constraints. Following developments in the ... -
Point Cloud Glue: Constraining Simulations Using the Procrustes Transform
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In physical simulation, it is frequently useful to define constraints between deformable objects, ensuring that one object follows another. Existing techniques for enforcing these constraints define the relationship between ... -
Reconstructing Surfaces of Particle-Based Fluids Using Anisotropic Kernels
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In this paper we present a novel surface reconstruction method for particle-based fluid simulators such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. In particle-based simulations, fluid surfaces are usually defined as a level set ... -
Linear-Time Dynamics for Multibody Systems with General Joint Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Most current linear-time forward dynamics algorithms support only simple types of joints due to difficulties in computing derivatives of joint transformations up to order two.We apply the D* symbolic differentiation algorithm ... -
FASTCD: Fracturing-Aware Stable Collision Detection
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We present a collision detection (CD) method for complex and large-scale fracturing models that have geometric and topological changes. We first propose a novel dual-cone culling method to improve the performance of CD, ... -
PLEdestrians: A Least-Effort Approach to Crowd Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We present a new algorithm for simulating large-scale crowds at interactive rates based on the Principle of Least Effort. Our approach uses an optimization method to compute a biomechanically energy-efficient, collision-free ... -
Control Systems for Human Running using an Inverted Pendulum Model and a Reference Motion Capture Sequence
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Physical simulation is often proposed as a way to generate motion for interactive characters. A simulated character has the potential to adapt to changing terrain and disturbances in a realistic and robust manner. In this ... -
Practical Animation of Compressible Flow for ShockWaves and Related Phenomena
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We propose a practical approach to integrating shock wave dynamics into traditional smoke simulations. Previous methods either simplify away the compressible component of the flow and are unable to capture shock fronts or ... -
Performance Capture with Physical Interaction
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)This paper introduces a technique for combining performance-based animation with a physical model in order to synthesize complex interactions in an animated scene. The approach is to previsualize interaction of final ... -
A Real-time Cinematography System for Interactive 3D Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Developers of interactive 3D applications, such as computer games, are expending increasing levels of effort on the challenge of creating more narrative experiences in virtual worlds. As a result, there is a pressing ... -
Editing Dynamic Human Motions via Momentum and Force
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We present an integrated framework for interactive editing of the momentum and external forces in a motion capture sequence. Allowing user control of the momentum and forces provides a powerful and intuitive editing tool ... -
Augmenting Hand Animation with Three-dimensional Secondary Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Secondary motion, or the motion of objects in response to that of the primary character, is widely used to amplify the audience's response to the character's motion and to provide a connection to the environment. These ... -
A Parallel Multigrid Poisson Solver for Fluids Simulation on Large Grids
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We present a highly efficient numerical solver for the Poisson equation on irregular voxelized domains supporting an arbitrary mix of Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our approach employs a multigrid cycle as a ... -
A Bayesian Interactive Optimization Approach to Procedural Animation Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)eters. In many cases, the models are complex and the parameters unintuitive for non-experts. In this paper, we present an optimization method for setting parameters of a procedural fluid animation system by showing the ... -
Enhancing Fluid Animation with Adaptive, Controllable and Intermittent Turbulence
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)This paper proposes a new scheme for enhancing fluid animation with controllable turbulence. An existing fluid simulation from ordinary fluid solvers is fluctuated by turbulent variation modeled as a random process of ... -
Animating Non-Humanoid Characters with Human Motion Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)This paper presents a method for generating animations of non-humanoid characters from human motion capture data. Characters considered in this work have proportion and/or topology significantly different from humans, but ... -
