    • Animation Setup Transfer for 3D Characters 

      Avril, Quentin; Ghafourzadeh, Donya; Ramachandran, Srinivasan; Fallahdoust, Sahel; Ribet, Sarah; Dionne, Olivier; Lasa, Martin de; Paquette, Eric (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We present a general method for transferring skeletons and skinning weights between characters with distinct mesh topologies. Our pipeline takes as inputs a source character rig (consisting of a mesh, a transformation ...
    • BlendForces: A Dynamic Framework for Facial Animation 

      Barrielle, Vincent; Stoiber, Nicolas; Cagniart, Cédric (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      In this paper we present a new paradigm for the generation and retargeting of facial animation. Like a vast majority of the approaches that have adressed these topics, our formalism is built on blendshapes. However, where ...
    • Boundary Detection in Particle-based Fluids 

      Sandim, Marcos; Cedrim, Douglas; Nonato, Luis Gustavo; Pagliosa, Paulo; Paiva, Afonso (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      This paper presents a novel method to detect free-surfaces on particle-based volume representation. In contrast to most particlebased free-surface detection methods, which perform the surface identification based on physical ...
    • Character Contact Re-positioning Under Large Environment Deformation 

      Tonneau, Steve; Al-Ashqar, Rami Ali; Pettré, Julien; Komura, Taku; Mansard, Nicolas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Character animation based on motion capture provides intrinsically plausible results, but lacks the flexibility of procedural methods. Motion editing methods partially address this limitation by adapting the animation to ...
    • Data-guided Model Predictive Control Based on Smoothed Contact Dynamics 

      Han, Daseong; Eom, Haegwang; Noh, Junyong; Shin, Joseph S. (formerly Sung Yong) (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      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 ...
    • Dexterous Manipulation of Cloth 

      Bai, Yunfei; Yu, Wenhao; Liu, C. Karen (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      This paper introduces a new technique to synthesize dexterous manipulation of cloth. Given a simple description of the desired cloth motion, our algorithm computes appropriate joint torques for physically simulated hands, ...
    • Effect of Low-level Visual Details in Perception of Deformation 

      Han, Donghui; Keyser, John (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We quantitatively measure how different low-level visual details can influence people's perceived stiffness of a deformable sphere under physically based simulation. The result can be used to create a metric for artists ...
    • Example-based Body Model Optimization and Skinning 

      Fechteler, Philipp; Hilsmann, Anna; Eisert, Peter (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In this paper, we present an example-based framework for the generation of a realistic kinematic 3D human body model that optimizes shape, pose and skinning parameters. For enhanced realism, the skinning is realized as a ...
    • Modeling and Estimation of Energy-Based Hyperelastic Objects 

      Miguel, Eder; Miraut, David; Otaduy, Miguel A. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      In this paper, we present a method to model hyperelasticity that is well suited for representing the nonlinearity of real-world objects, as well as for estimating it from deformation examples. Previous approaches suffer ...
    • Narrow Band FLIP for Liquid Simulations 

      Ferstl, Florian; Ando, Ryoichi; Wojtan, Chris; Westermann, Rüdiger; Thuerey, Nils (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      The Fluid Implicit Particle method (FLIP) for liquid simulations uses particles to reduce numerical dissipation and provide important visual cues for events like complex splashes and small-scale features near the liquid ...
    • A Practical GPU-accelerated Method for the Simulation of Naval Objects on Irregular Waves 

      Bezgodov, Alexey; Karsakov, Andrey (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      This paper introduce a new method for real-time simulation of naval objects (such as vessels, ships, buoys and lifejackets) with six degrees of freedom on irregular waves. Thus method is based on hydrodynamic and hydrostatic ...
    • A Practical Method for High-Resolution Embedded Liquid Surfaces 

      Goldade, Ryan; Batty, Christopher; Wojtan, Chris (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Combining high-resolution level set surface tracking with lower resolution physics is an inexpensive method for achieving highly detailed liquid animations. Unfortunately, the inherent resolution mismatch introduces several ...
    • Rig-Space Motion Retargeting 

      Hu, Lin-Chuan; Chang, Ming-Hsu; Chuang, Yung-Yu (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      This paper presents a framework for transferring rig parameters from a source animation to a target model, allowing artists to further refine and adjust the animation. Most previous methods only transfer animations to ...
    • Robust Transmission of Motion Capture Data using Interleaved LDPC and Inverse Kinematics 

      Furtado, Antonio Carlos; Cheng, Irene; Dufaux, Frederic; Basu, Anup (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Recent advances in smart-sensor technology have improved precision in Motion Capture (MoCap) data for realistic animation. However, precision also imposes challenges on bandwidth. While research efforts have focussed on ...
    • Skyglow: Towards a Night-time Illumination Model for Urban Environments 

      Minor, Tom; Poncelet, Robert R.; Anderson, Eike Falk (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      For night-time scenes in computer graphics there exist few consistent models or implementations for sky illumination, and those that do exist lack the feature of light pollution from artificial light sources. We present ...
    • Space-Time Co-Segmentation of Articulated Point Cloud Sequences 

      Yuan, Qing; Li, Guiqing; Xu, Kai; Chen, Xudong; Huang, Hui (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Consistent segmentation is to the center of many applications based on dynamic geometric data. Directly segmenting a raw 3D point cloud sequence is a challenging task due to the low data quality and large inter-frame ...
