Efficient approximate deformation models allow to interactively simulate elastic objects. However, these approaches usually cannot reproduce the complex deformation behavior governed by geometric and material nonlinearities. ...

Creating geometrically detailed mesh animations is an involved and resource-intensive process in digital content creation. In this work we present a method to rapidly combine available sparse motion capture data with ...

We present a system for generating full-body animations from the performance on a touch-sensitive tabletop of ''finger walking'', where two fingers are used to pantomime leg movements. A user study was conducted to explore ...

This paper gives a simple mathematical framework for 2D shape interpolation methods that preserve rigidity. An interpolation technique in this framework works for given the source and target 2D shapes, which are compatibly ...

We present a GPU friendly, Eulerian, free surface fluid simulation method that conserves mass locally and globally without the use of Lagrangian components. Local mass conservation prevents small scale details of the free ...

Animation budget constraints during the development of a game often call for the use of a limited set of generic motions. Editing operations are thus generally required to animate virtual characters with a sufficient level ...

We present a new method for efficiently simulating art-directable deformable materials. We use example poses to define subspaces of desirable deformations via linear interpolation. As a central aspect of our approach, we ...

We provide a novel simulation method for incompressible free surface flows that allows for large time steps on the order of 10-40 times bigger than the typical explicit time step restriction would allow. Although semi-Lagrangian ...

Smoke is one of the core phenomena which fluid simulation techniques in computer graphics have attempted to capture. It is both well understood mathematically and important in lending realism to computer generated effects. ...

This paper introduces a method to clone crowd motion data. Our goal is to efficiently animate large crowds from existing examples of motions of groups of characters by applying an enhanced copy and paste technique on them. ...
