Soft Articulated Characters with Fast Contact Handling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
Fast contact handling of soft articulated characters is a computationally challenging problem, in part due to complex interplay between skeletal and surface deformation. We present a fast, novel algorithm based on a layered ...
Texturing Internal Surfaces from a Few Cross Sections
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
We introduce a new appearance-modeling paradigm for synthesizing the internal structure of a 3D model from photographs of a few cross-sections of a real object. When the internal surfaces of the 3D model are revealed as ...
A Finite Element Method on Convex Polyhedra
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced 3D mean value coordinates to define smooth ...
Adaptive Space Deformations Based on Rigid Cells
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
We propose a new adaptive space deformation method for interactive shape modeling. A novel energy formulation based on elastically coupled volumetric cells yields intuitive detail preservation even under large deformations. ...
Interactive Visual Workspaces with Dynamic Foveal Areas and Adaptive Composite Interfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
This paper presents novel techniques and metaphors for on-demand visual workspaces in everyday office environments, providing space-efficient, flexible and highly interactive graphical user interfaces using projected ...
A Bidirectional Light Field - Hologram Transform
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to represent visual information. Extending the notion of conventional image-based rendering, our framework makes joint use of both light fields and holograms as complementary ...
3D Video Billboard Clouds
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007)
3D video billboard clouds reconstruct and represent a dynamic three-dimensional scene using displacement-mapped billboards. They consist of geometric proxy planes augmented with detailed displacement maps and combine the ...
