      We present separable Poisson filters to accelerate the projection step in Eulerian fluid simulation. These filters are analytically computed offline and are easy to integrate into any fluid algorithm with a Poisson pressure ...
    • Negative Jacobian Free Simulations Using Principal Stretches 

      Francu, Mihail (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Finite element (FE) simulations are prone to encountering negative Jacobians during the solving process. If nothing is done, the simulation can be brought to a halt, result in inverted elements or have undetermined behavior. ...

      Chapman, Danny; Daoust, Tim; Ormos, Andras; Lewis, Joseph (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Framestore and WeightShift created a full-body physics simulation to deliver art-directed shots in highly dynamic scenarios in several days instead of several weeks. Our technique combines ragdoll simulation and keyframe ...
    • Contact and Human Dynamics from Monocular Video 

      Rempe, Davis; Guibas, Leonidas J.; Hertzmann, Aaron; Russell, Bryan; Villegas, Ruben; Yang, Jimei (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Existing methods for human motion from video predict 2D and 3D poses that are approximately accurate, but contain visible errors that violate physical constraints, such as feet penetrating the ground and bodies leaning at ...
    • ZooBuilder: 2D and 3D Pose Estimation for Quadrupeds Using Synthetic Data

      This work introduces a novel strategy for generating synthetic training data for 2D and 3D pose estimation of animals using keyframe animations. With the objective to automate the process of creating animations for wildlife, ...
    • Efficient Unified Stokes using a Polynomial Reduced Fluid Model 

      Panuelos, Jonathan; Goldade, Ryan; Batty, Christopher (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Unsteady Stokes solvers, coupling stress and pressure forces, are a key component of accurate free surface simulators for highly viscous fluids. Because of the simultaneous application of stress and pressure terms, this ...
    • Interactive Wood Fracture 

      Hädrich, Torsten; Scheffczyk, Jan; Palubicki, Wojciech; Pirk, Sören; Michels, Dominik L. (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Abstract We propose a new approach for the simulation of wood as anisotropic material that takes its inherent fiber structure into account. Our approach is based on the Position-based Dynamics framework. We use the Shape ...
    • Wind Erosion: Shape Modifications by Interactive Particle-based Erosion and Deposition 

      Krs, Vojtech; Hädrich, Torsten; Michels, Dominik L.; Deussen, Oliver; Pirk, Sören; Benes, Bedrich (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      We present a novel user-assisted method for physics-inspired modeling of geomorphological features on polygonal meshes using material erosion and deposition as the driving mechanisms. Polygonal meshes defining an input ...
    • Untangling Layered Garments: An Implicit Approach 

      Buffet, Thomas; Rohmer, Damien; Cani, Marie-Paule (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      The efficient animation of layers of garments is a challenging task, as it requires handling collisions and contacts between multiple thin surfaces, which may be difficult to untangle once inter-penetrations have occurred. ...
    • Viewpoint Selection for Liquid Animations 

      Suzuki, Chihiro; Kanai, Takashi (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      We propose a viewpoint selection method for time-varying liquid shapes in order to select the best viewpoint for liquid animations. First, viewpoint evaluation is performed by a combination of three evaluation terms; ...
    • VR Kino+Theatre: From the Ancient Greeks Into the Future of Media 

      Velho, Luiz; Carvalho, Leonardo; Lucio, Djalma (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      VR Kino+Theatre is a media platform that combines theatrical performance with live cinema using virtual reality technology.
    • Local Models for Data Driven Inverse Kinematics of Soft Robots 

      Holsten, Fredrik; Darkner, Sune; Engell-Nørregård, Morten P.; Erleben, Kenny (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Soft robots are attractive because they have the potential of being safer, faster and cheaper than traditional rigid robots. If we can predict the shape of a soft robot for a given set of control parameters, then we can ...
    • Dilated Temporal Fully-Convolutional Network for Semantic Segmentation of Motion Capture Data 

      Noshaba, Cheema; Hosseini, Somayeh; Sprenger, Janis; Herrmann, Erik; Du, Han; Fischer, Klaus; Slusallek, Philipp (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Semantic segmentation of motion capture sequences plays a key part in many data-driven motion synthesis frameworks. It is a preprocessing step in which long recordings of motion capture sequences are partitioned into smaller ...
