  • A Temporally Adaptive Material Point Method with Regional Time Stepping 

    Fang, Yu; Hu, Yuanming; Hu, Shi-Min; Jiang, Chenfanfu (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    Spatially and temporally adaptive algorithms can substantially improve the computational efficiency of many numerical schemes in computational mechanics and physics-based animation. Recently, a crucial need for temporal ...
  • MPM Simulation of Interacting Fluids and Solids 

    Yan, Xiao; Li, Chen-Feng; Chen, Xiao-Song; Hu, Shi-Min (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    The material point method (MPM) has attracted increasing attention from the graphics community, as it combines the strengths of both particle- and grid-based solvers. Like the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme, ...
  • Liquid Splash Modeling with Neural Networks 

    Um, Kiwon; Hu, Xiangyu; Thuerey, Nils (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    This paper proposes a new data-driven approach to model detailed splashes for liquid simulations with neural networks. Our model learns to generate small-scale splash detail for the fluid-implicit-particle method using ...
  • Strain Rate Dissipation for Elastic Deformations 

    Sánchez-Banderas, Rosa M.; Otaduy, Miguel A. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    Damping determines how the energy in dynamic deformations is dissipated. The design of damping requires models where the behavior along deformation modes is easily controlled, while other motions are left unaffected. In ...
  • Fast Corotated FEM using Operator Splitting 

    Kugelstadt, Tassilo; Koschier, Dan; Bender, Jan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    In this paper we present a novel operator splitting approach for corotated FEM simulations. The deformation energy of the corotated linear material model consists of two additive terms. The first term models stretching in ...
  • Cosserat Rods with Projective Dynamics 

    Soler, Carlota; Martin, Tobias; Sorkine-Hornung, Olga (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    We present a novel method to simulate Cosserat rods with Projective Dynamics (PD). The proposed method is both numerically robust and accurate with respect to the underlying physics, making it suitable for a variety of ...
  • FTP-SC: Fuzzy Topology Preserving Stroke Correspondence 

    Yang, Wenwu; Seah, Hock-Soon; Chen, Quan; Liew, Hong-Ze; Sýkora, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    Stroke correspondence construction is a precondition for vectorized 2D animation inbetweening and remains a challenging problem. This paper introduces the FTP-SC, a fuzzy topology preserving stroke correspondence technique, ...
  • HairControl: A Tracking Solution for Directable Hair Simulation 

    Milliez, Antoine; Sumner, Robert W.; Gross, Markus; Thomaszewski, Bernhard (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    We present a method for adding artistic control to physics-based hair simulation. Taking as input an animation of a coarse set of guide hairs, we constrain a subsequent higher-resolution simulation of detail hairs to follow ...
  • Computational Design of Transformables 

    Yuan, Ye; Zheng, Changxi; Coros, Stelian (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    We present a computational approach to designing transformables, physical characters that can shape-shift to take on vastly different forms. The design process begins with a morphological description of an input character ...

    Dinev, Dimitar; Beeler, Thabo; Bradley, Derek; Bächer, Moritz; Xu, Hongyi; Kavan, Ladislav (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    Facial performance capture is the primary method for generating facial animation in video games, feature films and virtual environments, and recent advances have produced very compelling results. Still, one of the most ...

    Borno, Mazen Al; Righetti, Ludovic; Black, Michael J.; Delp, Scott L.; Fiume, Eugene; Romero, Javier (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    Motion capture is often retargeted to new, and sometimes drastically different, characters. When the characters take on realistic human shapes, however, we become more sensitive to the motion looking right. This means ...

  • Coupled Fluid Density and Motion from Single Views 

    Eckert, Marie-Lena; Heidrich, Wolfgang; Thuerey, Nils (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
    We present a novel method to reconstruct a fluid's 3D density and motion based on just a single sequence of images. This is rendered possible by using powerful physical priors for this strongly under-determined problem. ...
