    • Real-Time Deformation and Fracture in a Game Environment 

      Parker, Eric G.; O'Brien, James F. (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This paper describes a simulation system that has been developed to model the deformation and fracture of solid objects in a real-time gaming context. Based around a corotational tetrahedral finite element method, this ...

    • Simulating Balance Recovery Responses to Trips Based on Biomechanical Principles 

      Shiratori, Takaaki; Coley, Brooke; Cham, Rakié; Hodgins, Jessica K. (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      To realize the full potential of human simulations in interactive environments, we need controllers that have the ability to respond appropriately to unexpected events. In this paper, we create controllers for the trip ...

    • Spatial Deformation Transfer 

      Ben-Chen, Mirela; Weber, Ofir; Gotsman, Craig (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Much effort is invested in generating natural deformations of three-dimensional shapes. Deformation transfer simplifies this process by allowing to infer deformations of a new shape from existing deformations of a similar ...

    • Statistical Simulation of Rigid Bodies 

      Hsu, Shu-Wei; Keyser, John (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We describe a method for replacing certain stages of rigid body simulation with a statistically-based approximation. We begin by collecting statistical data regarding changes in linear and angular momentum for collisions ...

    • SteerBug: An Interactive Framework for Specifying and Detecting Steering Behaviors 

      Kapadia, Mubbasir; Singh, Shawn; Allen, Brian; Reinman, Glenn; Faloutsos, Petros (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The size of crowds that modern computer games and urban simulations are capable of handling has given rise to the challenging problem of debugging and testing massive simulations of autonomous agents. In this paper, we ...

    • Style Learning and Transferring for Facial Animation Editing 

      Ma, Xiaohan; Le, Binh Huy; Deng, Zhigang (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Most of current facial animation editing techniques are frame-based approaches (i.e., manually edit one keyframe every several frames), which is ineffective, time-consuming, and prone to editing inconsistency. In this ...

    • Visibility Transition Planning for Dynamic Camera Control 

      Oskam, Thomas; Sumner, Robert W.; Thuerey, Nils; Gross, Markus (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We present a real-time camera control system that uses a global planning algorithm to compute large, occlusion free camera paths through complex environments. The algorithm incorporates the visibility of a focus point into ...
