To fully immerse players in video games, elements of the game world must form a rich, coherent and believable universe, which is time consuming and expensive to achieve manually. We propose an artists' tool for Autodesk ...

In the world of electronic publishing page description languages describe a very powerful interface between document creation software and raster output devices. 3D graphics systems offer the possibility to give a more or ...

When modeling spline surfaces of complex shape, one has to deal with an overwhelming number of control points. Modeling by direct manipulation of the control points is a tedious task. In particular, it is very difficult ...

In 3D video games that employ human characters, a series of animations is required to display a character’s motion. The current approach is to use stored animation sequences, either motion captured or hand animated, and ...

Progress in cloth simulation for computer animation and apparel design has led to a multitude of deformation models, each with its own way of relating geometry, deformation, and forces. As simulators improve, differences ...

We present a framework for interactively manipulating objects in a photograph using related objects obtained from internet images. Given an image, the user selects an object to modify, and provides keywords to describe it. ...

In recent years, the field of computer animation has witnessed the invention of multiple simulation methods that exploit pre-recorded data to improve the performance and/or realism of dynamic deformations. Various methods ...

In this paper, we propose an efficient data-guided method based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) to synthesize a full-body motion. Guided by a reference motion, our method repeatedly plans the full-body motion to produce ...

In recent years, real-time 3D scanning technology has developed significantly and is now able to capture large environments with considerable accuracy. Unfortunately, the reconstructed geometry still suffers from incompleteness, ...
