    • A Level Set Method for Ductile Fracture 

      Hegemann, Jan; Jiang, Chenfanfu; Schroeder, Craig; Teran, Joseph M. (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We utilize the shape derivative of the classical Griffith's energy in a level set method for the simulation of dynamic ductile fracture. The level set is defined in the undeformed configuration of the object, and its ...
    • Modeling and Animating Myriapoda: A Real-Time Kinematic/Dynamic Approach 

      Fang, Jingyi; Jiang, Chenfanfu; Terzopoulos, Demetri (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      Unlike two, four, six, and eight legged animals, Myriapoda-i.e., centipedes, millipedes, etc.-have been largely overlooked in the computer graphics literature. We present an artificial life framework for modeling these ...
    • Multi-Domain Real-time Planning in Dynamic Environments 

      Kapadia, Mubbasir; Beacco, Alejandro; Garcia, Francisco; Reddy, Vivek; Pelechano, Nuria; Badler, Norman I. (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      This paper presents a real-time planning framework for multicharacter navigation that enables the use of multiple heterogeneous problem domains of differing complexities for navigation in large, complex, dynamic virtual ...
    • One-to-Many: Example-Based Mesh Animation Synthesis 

      Zheng, Changxi (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We propose an example-based approach for synthesizing diverse mesh animations. Provided a short clip of deformable mesh animation, our method synthesizes a large number of different animations of arbitrary length. Combining ...
    • Preface and Table of Contents 

      Theodore Kim and Robert Sumner (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
    • Relationship Descriptors for Interactive Motion Adaptation 

      Al-Asqhar, Rami Ali; Komura, Taku; Choi, Myung Geol (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      This paper presents an interactive motion adaptation scheme for close interactions between skeletal characters and mesh structures, such as moving through restricted environments, and manipulating objects. This is achieved ...
    • Rod Constraints for Simplified Ragdolls 

      Lewin, Chris; Thorman, Matt; Waterson, Tom; Williams, Chris; Willis, Phil (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      Physics-based animation has become a standard feature in modern games. Typically, the bones in a character's animation rig are each associated with a simulated rigid body, leading to a jointed assembly commonly called a ...
    • SPREAD : Sound Propagation and Perception for Autonomous Agents in Dynamic Environments 

      Huang, Pengfei; Kapadia, Mubbasir; Badler, Norman I. (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      The perception of sensory information and its impact on behavior is a fundamental component of being human. While visual perception is considered for navigation, collision, and behavior selection, the acoustic domain is ...
    • Velocity-Based Modeling of Physical Interactions in Multi-Agent Simulations 

      Kim, Sujeong; Guy, Stephen J.; Manocha, Dinesh (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We present an interactive algorithm to model physics-based interactions in multi-agent simulations. Our approach is capable of modeling both physical forces and interactions between agents and obstacles, while allowing the ...
    • View-Dependent Control of Elastic Rod Simulation for 3D Character Animation 

      Koyama, Yuki; Igarashiy, Takeo (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      This paper presents view-dependent control of elastic rod simulation for 3D character animation. Elastic rod simulation is often used in character animation to generate motion of passively deforming body parts such as hair, ...
    • Virtual Character Performance From Speech 

      Marsella, Stacy; Xu, Yuyu; Lhommet, Margaux; Feng, Andrew; Scherer, Stefan; Shapirok, Ari (ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We demonstrate a method for generating a 3D virtual character performance from the audio signal by inferring the acoustic and semantic properties of the utterance. Through a prosodic analysis of the acoustic signal, we ...
