The realistic and interactive simulation of deformable objects has become a challenge in Computer Graphics. In this paper, we propose a GPU implementation of the resolution of the mechanical equations, using a semi-implicit ...

In this paper we present an efficient adaptive cloth simulation based on the sqrt-3-refinement scheme. Our adaptive cloth model can handle arbitrary triangle meshes and is not restricted to regular grid meshes which are ...

Neighbor identification is the most computationally intensive step in particle based simulations. To contain its cost, a common approach consists in using a regular grid to sort particles according to the cell they belong ...

Breast surgery might benefit from image guidance, if position and extend of the disease could be visualized in the same breast deformation as the surgery is performed. Such visualizations, however, are challenging to obtain, ...

Motion planning for robots operating on 3D rough terrain requires the synergy of various robotic capabilities, from sensing and perception to simulation, planning and prediction. In this paper, we focus on the higher level ...

There is a strong need, in surgical simulations, for physically based deformable model of thin or hollow structures. The use of shell theory allows to have a well-founded formulation resulting from continuum mechanics of ...

We present a method for one-handed task based manipulation of objects. Our approach uses a mid-level multiphase approach to break the problem into three parts, providing an appropriate control strategy for each phase and ...

Hair can be a prominent feature of characters in real-time games. In this paper, we propose hair simulation with efficient preservation of various hair styles. Bending and twisting effects are crucial to simulate curly or ...

We propose a pseudo-physics system and a spine model that can be coupled to generate life-like locomotion animations of quadrupeds and reptiles. The pseudo-physics system uses minimalist particle-based physics and values ...

In this paper we present an efficient surface reconstruction pipeline for particle-based fluids such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics. After the scalar field computation and the marching cubes based triangulation, we ...
